PROS.SYS DRIVER
This is version 3.47 of PROS.SYS. It can be used on
several Media Vision sound cards, including the Media Vision Prosonic
16, Deluxe, Pro 3d and Premium 3D sound cards.
*************************************************************************
NOTE
*************************************************************************
Because several of these cards use the driver with different parameters,
some care will have to be taken to correctly configure your new driver before
putting it to use. Follow the instructions for installing this
driver for use with your particular sound card model.
*************************************************************************
Deluxe Card (P/Ns 650-0123-01, 650-0123-51, 650-0123-54)
Make a backup copy of your original PROS.SYS, PROS.EXE and MIXER.EXE
files. Copy PROS.SYS, PROS.EXE and MIXER.EXE to the MEDVSN directory.
No other changes are needed.
*************************************************************************
Pro and Premium 3D (P/N 650-0111-01 and 650-0117-01)
Copy PROS.SYS, PROS.EXE and MIXER.EXE to the Media Vision directory,
typically named either PA3D, Reno or MEDVSN). Edit CONFIG.SYS and
change device driver file name from PA3D.SYS to PROS.SYS Then
change the MPU401 port address parameter letter from M to P. An
example of this change is below:
old... DEVICE=C:\PA3D\PA3D.SYS A220 I5 D1 H5 M320 Q2
new... DEVICE=C:\PA3D\PROS.SYS A220 I5 D1 H5 P320 Q2
Check the Set Blaster statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT. An explanation of
Set Blaster is found below.
*************************************************************************
Prosonic 16
Make a backup copy of your original PROS.SYS and MIXER.EXE files. Then
copy PROS.SYS and MIXER.EXE to the Media Vision directory (usually
named Prosonic). Edit CONFIG.SYS and change the sound card port address
parameter letter from P to A (i.e. P220 becomes A220). Next change the 16-bit
DMA channel parameter letter from E to H (i.e. E5 becomes H5). Change the
MPU401 port address parameter letter from T to P (ie T330 changes to P330.)
old... DEVICE=C:\PROSONIC\PROS.SYS P220 I5 D1 E5 T320 Q2
new... DEVICE=C:\PROSONIC\PROS.SYS A220 I5 D1 H5 P320 Q2
Check the Set Blaster statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT. An explanation of
Set Blaster is found below.
*************************************************************************
PROS.SYS driver parameters:
Here is a sample line:
DEVICE=C:\MEDVSN\PROS.SYS A220 I7 D1 H7 P320 Q2
A# Base address for the sound card. 210, 220, 230, 240, 250, 260.
DO NOT use 230 unless the sound card's SCSI host address is
removed.
default is A220
D# Sound Blaster 8-bit DMA channel. 1, 3
default is D1
I# IRQ assignment for the board. 2,3,5,7,10, and 15.
default is I7
H# 16-bit DMA channel. 5, 7.
default is H7
M# MPU-401 emulation base address. 300, 310, 320, 330.
default is M320
Q# MPU-401 emulation IRQ. 2, 3, 5, and 7.
default is Q2
Optional Parameters
V Displays all hardware settings during driver load.
N Don't print sign-on banner.
B# CD Interface Port Address (Only required on Deluxe Sound Card)
default is 390
Sx CD Interface Select: x=S for Sony, M for Mitsumi or P for Panasonic
default is P
*************************************************************************
SET BLASTER statement paramters
The SET BLASTER statement is used to set environment variables for Sound Blaster
emulation. Here is a sample line:
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 P330 Q2 T4
Where:
A = I/O address
I = IRQ setting
D = DMA channel
T = Sound Blaster compatibility version
P = General Midi Port Address
Q = General Midi IRQ
and A, I, D, P, Q & T must be upper case.
It is important that the settings on the SET BLASTER line match the settings for
Sound Blaster emulation on the PROS.SYS line in the CONFIG.SYS.
