this file before calling technical support!

CyberWar.

MEMORY
======
After loading the main program Cyberwar requires 300K of coventional
memory to be available. If you have less than this, you will be told
how much extra memory is required. Remove any TSRs or Drivers that
are not required to gain extra conventional memory.
Cyberwar uses XMS memory for storing data.
XMS memory is configured using the EMM386.EXE line in your
CONFIG.SYS file.
To ensure you have enough XMS memory available your EMM386.EXE line
should look like this:
C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE D=64 NOEMS
This will allocate a 64k DMA buffer needed for correct audio playback
and turn off EMS memory, allowing XMS memory to be allocated as required.
If you are using QEMM and you experience difficulties selecting your
sound card during the install program, rerun optimize.exe from the
QEMM directory.
DISK CACHES
===========
Please do NOT use any Disk Cache utilities with Cyberwar!
They will not affect game performance and can cause problems.
SMARTDRIVE users, use the '/U' option to turn off CD-ROM caching.
DIGITAL AUDIO
=============
Cyberwar uses SOS (Sound Operating System) from Human Machine
Interfaces Inc. Drivers are supplied for a number of soundcards:
Adlib Gold
Ensoniq Soundscape
ESS 488/688 Audiodrive
Gravis Ultrasound
Gravis UltraMax
Microsoft Sound System
Pro Audio Spectrum Plus/16
Roland RAP-10
SoundBlaster
SoundBlaster Pro
SoundBlaster 16
SoundBlaster AWE32
Sound Master II
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SOUND CARDS
====================================
Media Vision Pro Audio Spectrum - If you have unreliable playback
during the game then ensure that SoundBlaster emulation is DISABLED
or that the DMA Channel is NOT 1.
Creative Labs SoundBlaster16/AWE32 - Ensure that you select the
SoundBlaster16/AWE32 drivers, and NOT the SoundBlaster (Pro) drivers
if you have one of these cards.
SoundBlaster Clones - If you have a SoundBlaster clone and are
experiencing digital audio glitches, it is probably due to your clone
card emulating a Sound Blaster imperfectly.
For more reliable emulation change your soundcard to use
DMA Channel 1 and IRQ number 5,7 or 9, as this may help.
Gateway 2000 - Depending on when you bought your machine
you may have either an Aztech SB Clone card (the audio drivers directory
is called G2KAUDIO) or an Ensoniq (drivers directory called GW2000).
If you have an Ensoniq please ensure that you use the Ensoniq drivers.
Gravis Ultrasound/MAX - Do not run SBOS or MEGAEM for Soundblaster
emulation - the drivers will run the card in native mode.
Reveal Sound FX/32 - Use the Ensoniq drivers.
Ensoniq Soundscape - Do not use the MT-32 emulation with Cyberwar.
Use either FM or General Midi via the MPU-401 drivers.
The SSINIT program supplied with the Ensoniq should be used to select
the midi option required.
