I do not have a DOS installation on the laptop at the moment (and my floppy drive doesn't seem to work very well), so I can't try that at the moment. > Another thing to try is to open also all > the SB ports to the DOS prog.

I'm wondering if opening all SB ports will work, since the chip probably needs a DOS program before it's Sound Blaster compatible mode can be used. Also /proc/ioports doesn't list anything at those other ports. I tried running the DOS programs from Yamaha in Dosemu. One of the programs quits with an error it can't run in a MS Windows Dosbox, another complains about the lack of EMM386 and VCPI support. I tried loading EMM386, but it says there are already protected mode applications running. Julius
