- There's one available in the Windows Drivers Library that you can
- order from Microsloth. Check your Windoze documentation for details.
- I've also seen it included in SPEAK.EXE, a self-extracting LZH archive on
- Garbo and Wuarchive. I don't recall what directories though.
- When you find it, don't expect too much out of it. It's fine for
- playing noise and simple sounds, like the ones included in Windows, but
- voice samples mostly aren't worth your while. I never even bothered
- trying to play MIDI files over it. You'd probably be better off in the
- long run checking your local users group for a used SoundBlaster. On the
- other hand, the pc-speaker driver is free.
