Here's the story I've heard about the sucking OPTi chipset: Opti buys components from other companies. At one time UMC produced bad DMA controller chips. These chips found their way to certain mother boards with UMC chipsets, as well as to boards with OPTi chipsets. To my knowledge, UMC no longer produces the buggy DMA controllers so neither OPTi or UMC should be bad anymore. ----------------- Date: Wed, 1 Feb 95 13:38 EET From: "Stasek Ondrej - Kotelnik a ne jinak."

It's nice to know that a new version is out.... and all I have to do is just WAIT. (I am on DMP-LIST) I imagine part 8 is relatively small coompared to the other parts; perhaps your system has a size priority (Like mine - I could wait for a LONG time ) so the smallest file/message got in first.

Thanks Otto, Part three 'finally' showed up this morning late :-). Unfortunately, not running well here. Trying to shell to DOS either locks the keyboard, or gives a QEMM memory exception 13 (but in both cases DMP continues to play the MOD in background). DMP32 puts my soundblaster pro in a strange state which overlays the output with ssss ssss ssss ssss ssss ssss sounds (even tho it plays the mod). It's back to 3.01 for me (but I'll try 4.00 on the system at home before I give up on it completely :-). System here is 486DX/33, SB-PRO, 16Meg of memory, AMI BIOS.
