- Dear Media Vision Valued Customer,
-
- You have just received the latest DOS & Windows drivers for your 3-D
- SCSI2 sound card that came with your multimedia kit. The Windows audio
- drivers fixes fast play-back on some digitally sampled audio files.
- You have also received the latest NCR SCSI CD ROM drivers for the 3-D SCSI2
- sound card. The NCR SCSI CD ROM drivers fixes a lock-up, when you are using
- 386Max as your memory manager.
-
- We've also included the VESA BIOS Extension/Audio Interface driver
- (VBEAI.COM) for your 3-D SCSI2 sound card. More details on this driver
- below.
-
- INSTALLATION:
- 1. Run UPDATE.BAT.
- Example: UPDATE C:\MEDVSN C:\WINDOWS [Enter]
-
- Note:The above example assumes that your Media Vision directory
- is named C:\MEDVSN. If you have the Reno kit, replace C:\MEDVSN
- with C:\RENO.
- 2. Reboot your system by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del simultaneously.
-
-
- *****************************************************************************
- UPDATE.BAT DOES NOT EXECUTE
- MANUAL INSTALLATION:
-
- 1. Copy these files to the Media Vision directory (i.e. \RENO or \MEDVSN).
- Example: COPY *.* C:\MEDVSN [Enter]
-
- 2. To update the 3-D sound card's Windows drivers, copy the *.DRV, *.DLL,
- *.386, *.CFG, *.PAT, and *.TXT files to your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM sub-
- directory.
- Example:
- A).... Make a back-up of file:
-
- REN C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MIDIMAP.CFG C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MIDIMAP.OLD
-
- B).... Copy over the drivers:
-
- COPY C:\MEDVSN\*.DRV C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM [Enter]
- COPY C:\MEDVSN\*.DLL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM [Enter]
- COPY C:\MEDVSN\*.386 C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM [Enter]
- COPY C:\MEDVSN\*.CFG C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM [Enter]
- COPY C:\MEDVSN\*.PAT C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM [Enter]
- COPY C:\MEDVSN\*.TXT C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM [Enter]
-
- This will overwrite the old files. The above example assumes that you
- copied the files to the C:\MEDVSN sub-directory.
-
- 3. Reboot your system.

- VBEAI.COM (VESA Bios Extensions/Audio Interface)
-
- VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) has responsibility for VL-bus
- standard and has created the VESA BIOS Extensions/Audio Interface (VBE/AI),
- a software sound standard which allows DOS software to communicate to the
- Media Vision Premium 3-D Sound Card through hardware in a standardized manner.
- Currently, without VBE/AI software companies must write software drivers for
- every type of sound card in the market. Under VBE/AI, software companies
- merely write software conforming to the VBE/AI standard to support all audio
- hardware with VBE/AI drivers. The hardware companies write a single driver
- to support a wide variety of software applications. If you do not use any
- of the available switches, the VBEAI.COM driver automatically uses the value
- (s) specified by the SET BLASTER statement (found in the AUTOEXEC.BAT).
- The VBEAI.COM must be added after the SET BLASTER statement.
-
- In the AUTOEXEC.BAT, add 'C:\RENO\vbeai.com' after the SET BLASTER statement.
- (The SET BLASTER statement would have been added already by the Media Vision
- QuickStart for your multimedia kit.)
- Example:
- set blaster=A220 I7 D1 H7 T4 P320
- C:\RENO\vbeai.com
-
- If you know your applications don't use the VBE/AI driver, you can save
- 10k of base memory by placing a 'REM' in front of the VBE/AI statement.
- When you want to use this driver, delete the 'REM', save your AUTOEXEC.BAT
- file and reboot your PC.
