- You boot from the floppies and restore the backup copy you made of the
- config.sys.....you DID make a copy, didn't you :-)
-
- I got this crash when trying to use the September version of the SB drivers
- with the MMPM/2 in the 2.1 beta......NO NO NO NO....don't do it.
-
- Use only the (December) SB drivers supplied with the 2.1 beta. Also, use
- only the MMPM/2 supplied with the beta. If you have the old MMPM/2.....it
- is now junk.
-
- One last point, the MMPM/s install 'forgets' to copy the AUDIOIF.DLL file from
- floppy to \mmos2\dll. Your SoundBlaster won't work without it.
