WARNING: During auto-detection of the Roland RAP-10 card, the driver
verifies that the RAP-10 is present at an I/O address of 320H or 330H.
It will NOT verify the card's DMA channel or IRQ settings. If your
RAP-10 card is not configured for IRQ 9, or if DMA channels 5 and 6
are already in use by another card on your system, you MUST select
the "Skip auto-detection and configure driver manually" option at
the next menu, and enter the correct I/O settings for your card.
Otherwise, your system may lock up, or you may experience a rapid
'chatter' effect during sound playback.

Most General MIDI synthesizers support the Roland MPU-401 MIDI hardware
interface standard. These include the Roland Sound Canvas, RAP-10,
and compatibles, as well as add-on daughterboards for the Sound Blaster
16 family. MPU-401 devices generally offer the highest level of
performance and sound quality available, but users of Adaptec SCSI
controllers may wish to select the "Skip auto-detection and configure
driver manually" option at the next menu to reduce the likelihood of
MPU-401 detection problems. Software-emulated MPU-401 interfaces are
not supported; if you have a Creative Labs AWE-32, you should select
"Creative Labs AWE-32(TM) General MIDI" instead.
