AD1812 SoundPort Controller
Windows 3.1x Driver Package
Release V1.52, 15 Aug 1996
************************************************************************************************************
Release notes
This version of the AD1812 Win31 drivers improves over the V1.0 drivers by
adding support for the XCTL0 and the XCTL1 pins. Developers can now write
applications that directly control spatializers, such as QSound's, through
these pins.
This version also provides a much more user friendly SETUP.EXE program, that
lets the user opt for an installation with default settings, or for an
installation with customized resource settings.
It further improves on older versions by fully detecting whether the AD1812
is enabled in PnP or non PnP mode on the board. When enabled in PnP mode and
running Win95, the user can still default back to Win31 without having to
change the AD1812's jump setting.
This version will compatible with the ICU (Intel Configuration Utility) for
non PnP BIOS mother-board. You can run the ICU dos configration utility to
setting the PnP resource. We recommend the customer to setting the same
resource for the AD1812 during install the AD1812 win3.1 device driver and run
the ICU dos configration utility.
This version also reduced the TSR memory requirement.
