Diagnostic

There should exist a directory \SB16. Inside this directory should be a file DIAGNOSE.EXE (if correct installed).

Start DIAGNOSE from a DOS prompt, and watch the output shown on display.

If there is a Token-Ring installed, you might have an address - conflict with SoundBlaster set to default 220H address, change it to 240H and run DIAGNOSE.


AUTOEXEC.BAT (added lines, sample)

SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E MODE:0
