- Maybe, maybe, it could be done with the spooler disabled. The reason
- the DOS software fails is that the print spooler is buffering and
- delaying all output to the printer ports. If you disable the spooler
- (I don't know if this can be done), they might work OK.
-
- As for MMPM/2 drivers, you'd need something to suspend the spooler
- (not too hard), and then directly access it's ports (harder). I think
- a device driver might be able to do this, but I don't know if two
- devices (spooler and your sound driver) can be configured to use the
- same port or not.
