You likely need to set the correct port, IRQ and other parameters to match your hardware (`BLASTER` env var). There may be jumpers on your card. Also read your hardware to help your discover them. On Wed, Jul 17, 2019 at 2:23 PM HTV04 . wrote: > > I set up the files, and it seems like the

I saw that their was an IF statement for when the config was set to 2, but I don’t see a config option for 1. I use 1 at startup, and the mouse driver works, yet it only seems to have a command within this IF statement. I’m very confused here. I thought option 1 at startup had the most features.
