- It looks like third party efforts have been done, but that's not
- MMPM/2, granted.
-
- I wonder how this new software (for sequencing and so forth) does it.
- (The package is advertised in OS/2 Professional -- I haven't received
- a copy yet. Does anyone have a copy of the ad available for posting?)
-
- I also wonder what Creative Labs has done here. They have
- SoundBlaster MMPM/2 drivers now which support at least sound and
- CD-ROM. I wonder about the MIDI support.
-
- I'll keep investigating this one.
