- Ok...but shouldn't there be a way to make it work correctly? I'd
- hate to have to enter the Settings for each of my DOS programs to make
- them work correctly. I wonder if there are more up-to-date versions
- of the sound driver. (Incidentally, I'm running the 12/9/92 beta
- release on a 486DX/33 with a SCSI Adaptec drive.)

- The aforementioned solution reminds me of a user who was getting parity
- errors on his memory, so somebody told him to turn of parity-checking
- in his BIOS! ;-)
