- Overview
- ~~~~~~~~
- SBPRESET is designed for owners of PS/2 Models 55sx, 57sx, and anyone else
- who has problems with their card not resetting on powerup. SBPRESET looks
- for the BLASTER environment setting to determine the location of the Sound
- Blaster card.
-
-
- Installation
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Copy the file SBPRESET.COM to the \SB or \SBPRO directory on your hard
- disk.
-
- To have SBPRESET run automatically with your system's boot up, add it
- to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file after the SET BLASTER statement.
-
- for example:
- SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T2
- \SBPRO\SBPRESET
-
- If your AUTOEXEC.BAT does not contain a SET BLASTER statement, check your
- manual for the proper setting of this parameter. You must have this
- setting for SBPRESET to work.
-
- If you copied the file to a different subdirectory, put the name of that
- directory in place of SBPRO in the example above.
-
-
- Other uses
- ~~~~~~~~~~
- SBPRESET can be used at the DOS prompt at any time to reset the Sound Blaster
- Pro card as needed. At the DOS prompt type \SBPRO\SBPRESET and press
- [Enter]. If you copied the file to a different subdirectory, put the name of
- that directory in place of SBPRO in the example above.
-
- SBPRESET returns the following errorlevel values for use in batch files.
