Artisoft Sounding Board Driver (ARTIS.EXE)
------------------------------------------

06/19/92 - The Artisoft Sounding Board driver has been updated to
           provide improved performance and quality. It is recommended
           that you upgrade your driver if you are using previously
           released versions of this driver.

           A message was added to the self-extracting .EXE file to
           remind customers NOT to run the .EXE file in the WINDOWS or
           WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. Also, the new license agreement
           was included.

Creative Sound Blaster Pro/Pro Basic (CREAT.EXE)
------------------------------------------------

06/19/92 - THE DRIVERS HAVE NOT BEEN CHANGED. A message was added to
           the self-extracting .EXE file to remind customers NOT to
           run the .EXE file in the WINDOWS or WINDOWS\SYSTEM
           directory. Also, the new license agreement was included.

06/02/92 - No changes were made to any of the Creative Sound Blaster
           Pro drivers. The only change occurred in CREATIVE.TXT.

05/28/92 - The drivers in CREAT.EXE have been updated to be more
           stable. The main changes are to MIDI. The Mixer is also
           improved from the earlier WDL version of this driver. All
           buttons and features, such as Save Settings, now function
           correctly. CREATIVE.TXT includes more information on
           installing and using these drivers.

IBM M-Audio Adapter (IBM.EXE)
-----------------------------

06/19/92 - THE DRIVERS HAVE NOT BEEN CHANGED. A message was added to
           the self-extracting .EXE file to remind customers NOT to
           run the .EXE file in the WINDOWS or WINDOWS\SYSTEM
           directory. Also, the new license agreement was included.
PC Speaker Driver (SPEAK.EXE)
-----------------------------

06/19/92 - THE DRIVERS HAVE NOT BEEN CHANGED. A message was added to
           the self-extracting .EXE file to remind customers NOT to
           run the .EXE file in the WINDOWS or WINDOWS\SYSTEM
           directory. Also, the new license agreement was included.

06/02/92 - This version of SPEAKER.DRV contains a workaround for
           machines (specifically AST, but there may be others) that
           implement  their speaker ports in a nonstandard way.
           Specifically, both PPI bits are now toggled on and off,
           rather than just the speaker bit.

05/06/92 - No change was made to the driver or supporting files.

           This file was replaced because a .TXT file needed to be
           changed.

Pro AudioSpectrum Audio Adapters (PROAUD.EXE)
---------------------------------------------

05/14/92 - PROAUD.EXE has been removed from the Windows Driver
           Library. These drivers have been found to crash systems
           when running multimedia-intensive tasks, for example,
           animation, video, and sound at the same time.

Thunderboard (THUNDR.EXE)
-------------------------

06/19/92 - THE DRIVERS HAVE NOT BEEN CHANGED. A message was added to
           the self-extracting .EXE file to remind customers NOT to
           run the .EXE file in the WINDOWS or WINDOWS\SYSTEM
           directory. Also, the new license agreement was included.
