Hi Denny:
Blast. So far, I've learned two things.
1. The prompt in the SBDVP program is wrong. The string has
to be "set BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T3", not "set BLASTER = A220 I5 D1 T3".
2. On my Dell desktop, with on-board sound, DELL provides a DOS
program called SETUPDS. If you boot DOS, run this program, and
do a "set BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T3", the sbdvp is happy on the Dell
desktop.
Unfortunately, I don't have time to figure out how to wake up the
sound card. I'm not a DOS programmer and learning enough to do it
would probably take days.
Oh, well...I'll just continue to use a DVP and old DOS box for
contests, unless I get more information about the laptop.

Mark, KD4D
