- Fast 486 Sound Driver Updates
-
- The AdLib drivers (for AdLib, Sound Blaster, Pro Audio Spectrum, Covox and
- compatibles) of some of our older games have had problems with newer fast
- computers, especially 486/66s. This file contains a number of updated sound
- drivers that should work fine on all fast machines.
-
- BEFORE UPDATING YOUR SOUND DRIVERS, PLEASE RENAME OR OTHERWISE BACKUP YOUR
- OLD DRIVERS! Go to your game directory and type DIR ASOUND.*, this will show
- you the AdLib drivers used. In most cases, there will only be one driver.
- Some games also used a separate one for the logo screen. Copy the
- corresponding updated driver(s) to your game directory and start the game as
- you normally would. Newer games not listed here should work fine as is on
- fast computers.
