I see, and now I recalled that's exactly how M worked for me in the past:) Faking the irq number seems to help, although it still says "MPU type unknown". Now, as IRQs are actually working for MPU, it is enough to run it without parameters. > Can you cite where I've referred to using the PC-speaker driver Well, I might be confusing something, but I thought you have some relations with www.linux-sound.org, haven't you? If so, here is a quote: --- PC Speaker PC Speaker Driver old driver from Humboldt University in Berlin PC Speaker Driver Patch from Erik Inge Bolso --- If you have nothing to do with that site then I might have confused you with someone else. > I do not > recommend the PC speaker to anyone actually making music with a > computer.

I tested with PC-DOS. > Can you recommend a version to use with FreeDOS ? Version of what? If you have any version of M that doesn't require Windows to run, this version might be appropriate. Otherwise use MS-DOS or PC-DOS to run Windows.
