- 1. We are including drivers that make use of Device Virtualization. These
- drivers will allow DOS Apps that use the SoundBlaster to run in Enhanced
- Mode.
-
- Please make sure that the line reading "device=vsbpd.386" under the
- [386Enh] section in your SYSTEM.INI is correct. If it reads
- "device=vsbd.386", simply change it to read "device=vsbpd.386". Make
- sure the file is in your Windows SYSTEM directory. If it is not, copy it
- from the Drivers Disk.
-
- 2. A MIDI-MAP has been created to make use of SBFM.DRV, please use the MIDI
- MAPPER icon under Control Panel to customize it to your requirements.
-
- Under Windows v3.1, MIDI channel 10 is referenced as the drum channel.
- If you are having problems with the FM synth not sounding "right", try
- modifying the configuration with the MIDI Mapper.

- they are mapped:
