Yeah, since Betrayal at Krondor needs 590 K free conventional memory and
1024 K of EMS...
Loading, thus, with the NOEMS option as IBM suggests creates somewhat of
a problem, then eh? :(
Hmm...I suppose it's out of the question getting SVAUDIO.EXE to work w/
Ultima 7 Part 2, eh? The machine complains about protected mode...I
suppose it's the audio driver. Funny, the audio on the TP 750C seems similar
to the Portable Sound Player for notebooks by Digisound (an IBM Business
partner...surprise, surprise). Maybe if we can figure out how to get hte
Portable Sound Player working w/ our games, the same would be true for
the TP 750C...
Oh, and someone asked about SVAUDIO.EXE...it's on the new audio drivers disk.
I called IBM BBS to get it...file directory 37. Ph#?
Hmm...dunno...someone else must have it. I trashed it after getting the
files...
