- THINGS YOU MAY SEE IN 386Power+XGE Rev. 1.00 (June/July 1994)
-
- Virtual DMA Scatter/Gather support routines
- At last an easy way to deal with DMA under protected mode!
- You can ALREADY use VDS Scatter/Gather but you have to do it
- on you own and lock memory if you run under DPMI.
- In the next release i will add simple "call and forget"
- routines to handle DMA setup.
- I'm working on ways to work around the limitations
- of ISA bus (the 16Mbyte limit) and try to see if VDS
- work correctly under protected mode too (the docs are confusing
- about this).
-
- Skeleton code to build SOUND DRIVERS for any sound card you can get the docs.
- I just have the beeper to make sound (actually noise)
- but a friend of mine has a Gravis Ultrasound
- (guess what will be the only complete driver included into
- 386P+XGE 1.0) and since the "sound production" model is nearly the
- same for all the boards around, a code skeleton can be adapted
- to any sound card available once you have the docs.
-
- DIGITAL MIXER, mix multiple sound samples with various effects.
-
- ENVIRONMENT parser (to configure sound cards and extract system info).

- THINGS YOU CAN BET WILL BE IN 386P+XGE 1.0
-
- Complete Map/Tile handling routines (i already have working code, but
- i'm optimizing sone little things to get better execution timings under DPMI).
-
- Better sound on the PC-Speaker (the PWM thing included into rev. 0.999
- has some quirks and squeaky things).
-
- Joystick support
-
- WAV support (including compressed sound data).
