SOUND DRIVERS
-------------
Sound Driver Setup
==================
When using a Sound Blaster 16 compatible card, the auto-detect feature of
the HMI sound driver software will sometimes detect it as a Sound Blaster AWE
32. If this happens, re-run the auto detect. If it still reports the sound
card incorrectly, please use the manual settings.
There is no need to select a driver for midi as there is no midi music in
the game. If you have selected a driver, and wish to remove the selection,
you should delete the hmiset.cfg file in the sound sub-directory, and re-run
the setup program.

KEYBOARD CONTROL
----------------
Presentation
============
During any of the presentation, you may use the mouse, the joystick/joypad
(if selected), or the keyboard.
CURSOR KEYS control the movement of the mouse cursor, and RETURN acts as
the mouse button.
Connect now screens
===================
Pressing RETURN has the same effect as clicking on the connect button.
Pressing ESCAPE has the same effect as clicking on the cancel button.
On the serial connect screen pressing the CURSOR KEYS changes the comlink
number.
Additionally, during the network connect countdown, when you are certain
that ALL players have pressed the connect button the countdown can be aborted
by clicking the left mouse button with mouse at the top left corner of the
screen. All players must do this within a short time interval.

MANUAL ERRATA & ADDENDUM

Chopshop
========
When purchasing items from the chopshop, you are allowed one special weapon
upgrade per visit. The bars indicate that no further purchases of the upgrade
are available at this time.
General points
==============
In the manual it states that as well as being able to pick cash up from the
tracks, you can also pick up health bonuses and nitros. These are actually
only available from a road-kill, although cash available as a pickup.
If more than one player should choose a given bike during a multi-player
game, then the connect now screen will abort after connection and the game
will return to the character selection screens.
In the manual it states that if you want hints or tips for the game you
should call the given 900 number and that you "Must be 18 nor have
parents permission". This should of course read "Must be 18 *or* have
parents permission".
