#604X nogo Groliers audio

thomas,
I can't remember the solution to this one. I do recall that only certain
combinations of DMA/IRQ work.
Give Groliers a call, they have a tech support number 1-800-356-5590.

Glen,
I talked to Groliers tech support, and they recommended changing irq on
mvsound.sys line to Q:5. That totally locked my system, and, apparently did
something bizarre, perhaps damaging other hardware, as my primary (esdi)
harddrive cannot be seen when boot from floppy. Still no sound through the PAS
from Groliers for DOS. Spent 4 hours mucking around with hardware and on long
distance to ultrastor tech support – still don't understand, though was able to
kludge by juggling esdi and scsi board addresses – see my note on ibmhw:

Sb: Ultrastor 12C/14F Wierd?
Fm: ed jackson 70605,523
To: C Straghalis UltraStor 71005,1655
Which details the whole mess.
Can you post a working system set-up for Groliers and PAS-16? (Maybe run a dx
utility like checkit or sysinfo and post results?).
Thanks in advance –ed
my brother has the NGME working with sound and vidoe now. the DMA changing
didn't help. he went with IRQ 10 for mvsound and miracles upon miracle it now
works. i think he has IRQ 3 for the sndbk. anyway, IRQ are the answer for this
one. IRQ 5 is for LPT1 and apparently is "shared" by your SCSI hard drive.
