I will try it...

Strange is, that I hear sometimes piano, sometimes the real samples. They are mixing up. Mmmh, have to do some testing here. > ---------- > > On Sun, 12 Oct 1997, Marcus Brinkmann wrote: > > [snip] > > > ... the (VERIFYLD N) command would be alot easier. > > As we said by private e-mail, this doesn't work with isapnptools-1.9-1; as > my system is libc5 based I had to pick the source of 1.11 in order to be > able to try with it (the Debian package depends on libc6) and rebuild the > binaries, and IT WORKS (but both isapnp and pnpdump take 6 seconds here, > while 1.9-1 took the time to press <return>).

You should test it with the new version, too. awe-drv is actually at 0.4.2c (you can find the location in my HOWTO). Note that the sources coming with kernel 2.1.55 in the lowlevel directory are version 0.3.1! This is very old, and everything can break. Oh, one more: 0.4.2c does support dynamically loaded sample fonts, so you can use the 4 Megabyte bank with 2 Megabyte RAM on the card. Obviously, you can try the ( MB with 4MB on card,... > (Ok, Marcus, I still have to do it in 2.0.29... you had a message half an > hour ago... > Britton, my dear, you understand we were doing lot of tests bringing > possibly to lot of things to be just discarded... that's why we didn't > keep cc'ing to you... but of course the wonderful HOWTO of Marcus is > available.)

As stated above, the version with 2.1.55 is very old. The MAX questions arise not in version 0.4.2c anymore, because the memory is allocated dynamically (Yipie!).
