                       MAESTRO 16/96 LATEST INFORMATION
                          DOS/Windows (Version 1.03 )
                                09/26/95

Important note:
----------------

    Win95/DOS Package:
        For the users of the Windows 95, please Install Windows 95
        Driver first. Read the README.W95 for the installation guide.

        Win31/DOS Package:
        For the users of the Windows 3.1x and DOS, please install
        this package from a Real DOS prompt. Do not run it in a 
        Windows' DOS session.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

0.  What's NEW in this release

    - When DOS CM (Config Manager) isn't present, the program 
          uses PnP test mode of MAESTRO 16/96 to setup the hardware 
          resource in stead of using old-version MC registers.

          The WSS mode and SB mode use same IRQ and DMA (SB uses
          only the playback DMA channel when the CODEC maybe OK
          to support 2 DMA channels for Playback and Capture)

        - DOS package now supports both old DOS 6.xx and Win95 DOS

          For Win31/DOS package, it works as before. The DOS
          Installer will also install Windows 3.1 Drivers.

          For Win95/DOS package (a single floppy), it starts
          from Win95 installation then brings up DOS Installer.

    - Windows 95 Real DOS Support 
      Add program and functions to integrate with Windows 95 
      driver. SNDINIT program puts SETSOUND in DOSSTART.BAT 
      when it detects that "winbootdir" is present, so everytime
      the user leaves Windows 95 to real mode dos, the SETSOUND
      program will be invoked to setup the sound card.

3.  DOS/WINDOWS 3.1 DRIVER INSTALLATION PROCESS

  !!! Note: For Windows users, please exit from Windows and run
                    the installation from DOS. !!!

          The hard disk installation program, INSTALL.EXE, will copy 
          the necessary files from MAESTRO 16/96 Installation disk into 
          your hard disk. Follow the following procedure to install the 
          software:

          (Assuming you are using floppy drive A, and you wish to install
                to hard disk drive C)

          1. Place the disk labeled "MAESTRO 16/96 Installation" in
                  Drive A.

          2. Type a: and press ENTER to change to Drive A.

          3. Type install and press ENTER to begin the installation.

          INSTALL.EXE will do the followings for you: 
         
          a.) Create the directory \TERRATEC in your hard disk drive.

          b.) Prompt you for CD-ROM and sound card options so that after
                        you have finished the installation and have rebooted your 
                        machine, you will be ready to use the sound card.

          c.) Copy the files in your floppy disk to the TERRATEC directory
                        and Windows directory respectively.

          d.) Update your CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT and SYSTEM.INI files
                        In CONFIG.SYS, the following will be added:

                        - DEVICE=C:\TERRATEC\CDSETUP.SYS /T:S /P:340
                          (assuming SONY CD-ROM)
                          DEVICE=C:\TERRATEC\SLCD.SYS /D:MSCD000 /B:340

                        In AUTOEXEC.BAT:
 
                        - PATH=C:\TERRATEC (appended)
                          SET SOUND16=C:\TERRATEC
                          C:\TERRATEC\SNDINIT /B
                          SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4

                        In SYSTEM.INI:

                            0 means that modem is disabled).    

4.  WINDOWS 95/DOS DRIVERS PACKAGE INSTALLATION PROCESS

          During the installation of MAESTRO 16/96 Windows 95 driver, 
          the installation program will insert a line in AUTOEXEC.BAT to 
          invoke the SND4DOS program to install the MAESTRO DOS driver.  
          After installed the Windows 95 driver, the Windows 95 asks for 
          a reboot to make the new hardware (in this case, sound device) 
          to work properly.     After reboot, the SND4DOS will be invoked and 
          bring up the DOS driver installation program (install.com on the 
          installation disk ) to install the DOS driver and remove the line 
          SND4DOS inserted in AUTOEXEC.BAT.     
         
          Please follow the following procedure to install the software:

          1. Follow the installation guideline provided with MAESTRO 16/96
             924 Windows 95 driver to install the Windows 95 driver.  
        
          2. During the first reboot after installed the MAESTRO Windows 95
             driver, the program SND4DOS will take over. Just follow the 
                 instrution of SND4DOS to bring TERRATEC DOS Installer to setup
                 the Sound Card for your Windows 95 real DOS environment.

                 !! If you decide not to install at current time, you always
                    have a chance to re-setup your sound card support for DOS
                        later. Just type C:\SND4DOS at your Real Mode DOS Prompt.

          3. DOS Installer actually is the same one as DOS/Win31.
                 The differences are 
                     a. it won't install Win31 Drivers and applications.
                         b. it inserts a line into DOSSTART.BAT in Windows 95
                            Home Directory. 

                 DOS Installer will modify Windows 95 system files:

                        In CONFIG.SYS

                          DEVICE=C:\TERRATEC\CDSETUP.SYS /T:S /P:340
                          (assuming SONY CD-ROM)
                          DEVICE=C:\TERRATEC\SLCD.SYS /D:MSCD000 /B:340

                        In AUTOEXEC.BAT:
 
                          PATH=C:\TERRATEC (appended)
                          SET SOUND16=C:\TERRATEC
                          C:\TERRATEC\SNDINIT /B
                          SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4

                        In DOSSTART.BAT:
 
                          C:\TERRATEC\SETSOUND
                        
                
5.  GETTING HELP ABOUT SNDINIT.EXE
 
          You can issue the following command to get information 
          about sndinit.exe:

          - SNDINIT /?




6.  CD-ROM Interface Setup Device Driver

          The CD-ROM Setup Device Driver is called CDSETUP.SYS. This 
          driver sets up the interface of your CD-ROM to the MAESTRO 16/96.
          Each time you change or add a CD-ROM to your sound card. 
          The line "DEVICE=CDSETUP.SYS..." will be added to the first line 
          of your CONFIG.SYS file before the CD-ROM device driver line. 
          CDSETUP.SYS is defined as follows:
          
          DEVICE=[drive:]\[directory]\CDSETUP.SYS /T:[M/S/P/I/X] /P:[addr] 
                                /I:[IRQ] /D:[DMA]  

          [drive] = drive where you have the driver installed
          [directory] = directory where the driver is located
          [M/S/P/I/X] = M stands for Mitsumi
                                                 S stands for SONY
                                                 P stands for PANASONIC
                                                 I stands for IDE drive
                                                 X stands for disabled

          [address] = Port address for CD-ROM (320, 330, 340, 360)

          [IRQ] = Interrupt number (5,7,9,10,11)

          [DMA] = DMA channel (0, 1, 3)

          For example, the following line sets up the interface for a 
          Mitsumi CD-ROM:

          DEVICE=C:\TERRATEC\CDSETUP.SYS /T:M /P:340 /I:10

          If you did not specify the /I or /D options, CDSETUP will
          automatically choose the default setting for the CD-ROM type 
          your have specified.

          - For Mitsumi, the IRQ is 10 and DMA is disabled.
          - For SONY, they are both disabled.
          - FOR PANASONIC, they are both disabled.

          For IDE drive, you need to just specify the /T:I option. 
          Specifying any other option in addition to this will be ignored.
          The I/O Port and Interrupt for IDE is located at 170H and Int 15.


7) Run DOS games in Windows 3.1

   a) Sometimes, the Setup of the PIF file of a DOS game is crucial. 
          To make a game work effectively under Windows, you probably 
          have to try a few alternative options through PIF editor.

   b) Not all the DOS games can run in Windows' DOS BOX. Some of 
          them just don't run because of system restrictions.
