8 megabyte waveset.
The 8MB waveset is located in the waveset directory of the installation CD.
To install the 8MB waveset in Windows 95, copy it to a directory on your
system and then use the Configurator to add it and make it active.
To install the waveset under Windows NT 4.0,
choose add waveset from the sound card's driver dialog.
NOTE: The 8MB waveset is recommended in systems with at least 64MB of RAM.
The Configurator includes a waveset manager and a 3D audio test.
The waveset manager tool allows users to easily install and
remove custom wavesets from their system.
The 3D audio test can be used to optimize speaker positioning as well
as select the desired 3D audio mode.
To access this utility, right click on the mixer icon in the task bar
and select Configuration utility or run it from the sound card's start menu item.

DOS test waveset.
The DOS test waveset is located in the waveset directory of the installation CD.
The DOS test waveset is the smallest waveset we could make that includes
ONLY the instrument necessary to playback the MIDI notes for APTEST.EXE.
It is designed to fit on a boot floppy disk with the other necessary files
to test the sound card in MS-DOS Mode.
NOTE: This is not a complete waveset. It should not be loaded in Windows.
The DOS Drivers and Utilities necessary to run the DOS test from a boot floppy are
only installed by the sound card's setup program in Windows 95 or Windows 3.x.
The Windows 95 or Windows 3.x sound card setup must be completed first.
NOTE: The required files cannot be obtained from Windows NT or MS-DOS.
Create a 3.5" 1.44MB boot floppy by formatting the disk with the /S option
(or by checking the "Copy system files" box in the Windows format dialog box.)
This boot floppy should contain the following files once it is formatted (Windows 95):
DRVSPACE.BIN (Read-only,Hidden,System file)
IO.SYS (Read-only,Hidden,System file)
MSDOS.SYS (Read-only,Hidden,System file)
COMMAND.COM
The following two system files are required to load the sound card's DOS driver.
They should be copied from the \Windows folder or the \DOS folder of your system.
EMM386.EXE
HIMEM.SYS
Some of the sound card's DOS drivers and utilities are also required.
If you have completed the Windows 95 or Windows 3.x installation
these files are copied to the DOS Drivers & Utilities folder.
The following files should be copied to the boot floppy:
APINIT.COM
APLOAD.EXE
APTEST.EXE
AUDIOPCI.BIN
DOS4GW.EXE
APCONFIG.EXE
The DOS test waveset is the only waveset small enough to fit on the floppy.
It should be copied to the boot floppy from the waveset folder of the Install CD.
DOSTEST.ECW
A few configuration files must be created on the BOOT FLOPPY to load the sound card.
Use a text editor, such as NOTEPAD.EXE or EDIT.COM to create the following files on
the BOOT FLOPPY disk (not the hard drive.)
The text to enter in each file follows the filenmame.

NOTE: The SNDSCAPE.INI contains the sound card's hardware settings.
The sample values to be entered in the SNDSCAPE.INI may conflict
with another device in your system and might need to be changed.
This is the completed boot floppy file list:
A:\IO.SYS (Read-only,Hidden,System file)
A:\MSDOS.SYS (Read-only,Hidden,System file)
A:\DRVSPACE.BIN (Read-only,Hidden,System file)
A:\COMMAND.COM
A:\EMM386.EXE
A:\HIMEM.SYS
A:\DOS4GW.EXE
A:\APINIT.COM
A:\APLOAD.EXE
A:\AUDIOPCI.BIN
A:\APCONFIG.EXE
A:\APTEST.EXE
A:\DOSTEST.ECW
A:\CONFIG.SYS
A:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
A:\SNDSCAPE.INI
After all the files are copied and the configuration files edited,
insert the boot floppy into the system with the sound card and reboot.
The card should be loaded and the DOS test should be executed.
When you've completed the test, remove the disk and reboot.
