How to use the Mediavision ® PCMCIA Sound Card with Microsoft Windows 95® This document is intended as a guide to assist you with the installation of the Mediavision PCMCIA (PC-Card) Sound Card; in no way should this guide be considered a comprehensive instruction manual, this information is provided as-is and no warranties are made to the correctness of the information provided. Introduction We do not have Windows 95 drivers for the PCMCIA sound card by Mediavision. This product was manufactured before the release of Windows 95, and was probably never intended to work with that system. However, you can use Windows 95's built-in alternate driver for the card, possibly with some limitations. It has not been tested with much other software or hardware, and it is possible you may experience problems using other hardware or software at the same time when using your sound card. Installation In order to install the PCMCIA sound card with Windows 95, perform the following steps exactly. 1. Restart your computer in MS-DOS mode. 2. Insert the PCMCIA Sound Card into the PCMCIA slot of your computer. 3. Insert Disk 1 of the PCMCIA Sound Card "Software Installation Disk" into the floppy drive of your computer, and type a: install (or replace a: with b: if that is the designation for your floppy drive). 4. After the Software has been installed, exit back to the DOS prompt. 5. Change directories to C:\WINDOWS, type edit winstart.bat and type in the following line into the newly-created file: C:\medvsn\setsound.com Then save the file and exit. 6. Get back to the root prompt (Type cd..) 7. Type edit autoexec.bat and put a semicolon (;) in front of the following lines (which were added to the file when you ran the installation program): ;C:\medvsn\setsound.com ;C:\medvsn\vbeai.com ;Set vgame_dir=c:\medvsn\vgame ;Set blaster=a220 I7 D1 P330 Q2 T3 Save the file and exit. 8. Restart your computer. Note: If you check the device status under system properties, it will show that "this device is not present", but the sound card should still be working. This will affect the hot-swap function for the sound card, so the card will not be hot-swappable, which means that you have to boot up the computer with the sound card in the slot to make it work. Note: If you follow these instructions to install the PCMCIA Sound Card, it will work with MIDI, .WAV files, CD's and most games, but you may encounter problems with playing Video Music.Download Driver Pack
