1.  O v e r v i e w

This README.TXT contains instructions to install and configure the MS-Win95 
driver and MediaRack applet for the AD1815 Sound Card.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.  S y s t e m   R e q u i r e m e n t s

  - 80486 PC-AT compatible or faster machine.
  - 8 MB DRAM or greater.
  - 1 free 16-bit ISA-bus expansion slot.
  - 400 KB free hard disk space for minimum software installation.
  - Microsoft Windows95
  
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.  D r i v e r   I n s t a l l a t i o n

1.  Start the computer with MS-Win95. From the Device Manager,
    remove all previously installed sound card drivers. Make sure that all
    references to these drivers are removed from the C:WINDOWS\SYSTEM
    directory.

2. Switch off the computer and remove all other sound cards.

3. Insert the AD1815 sound card firmly in an available ISA bus 
    expansion slot and close the computer.

4. Reboot or restart the computer.  As MS-Win95 restarts,
   you may see a window explaining that it is "Building
   Driver information database".

3. A window will show "New Hardware Found", and ask where the driver 
   should be copied from.  Select
   "Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer", and
   "OK".  When it asks "Install From Disk", select "A:\WIN95" and
   "OK".

4. MS-Win95 will copy the driver and -.inf files onto the
   hard disk. Next, MS-Win95 will find the MPU-401 controller
   and gameport/joystick logical devices one after the other. For 
   each logical device, an installation window will appear, which 
   either says: 

     "Windows has found new hardware and is installing the software for it" 
    
   or asks whether to use the Windows Default driver (select yes
   in this case)

5. You will be able to tell that the driver is installed because a speaker 
   horn symbol will show up on the task bar adjacent to the time. Next 
   you will be able to play sounds using the "Sounds" item on the Control 
   Panel. Also, in the Device Manager the RedCoral Sound System 
   driver should show up under "Sound, video and game controllers" item.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. D r i v e r   D e - I n s t a l l a t i o n

1. With this release comes a driver de-installation program, REMOVE.EXE. 
   From the Task Bar, choose START|RUN.

2. In the dialog box, type in the following:
   
   	A:\WIN95\REMOVE.EXE

   and click on OK.

3. Follow the instruction appearing next. If the intention was to remove
   the sound card from the PC, shut down MS-Win95 and turn off the PC.
   Open it up and remove the sound card. Next, close the PC, and turn on the
   power again. If the intention was to re-install the driver, just restart
   MS-Win95, and follow the installation instructions under Section 5.
 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.  W i l l o w   P o n d   M e d i a R a c k   I n s t a l l a t i o n

1. From the Start button, select Run. 

2. Insert the installation diskette in floppy drive A and type:
	
	 A:\MRACK\SETUP.EXE

   and hit Return.

3. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Note: Refer to the AD1815 user's manual for detailed instructions on the 
operation and customization of the MediaRack.

6. V o l u m e   C o n t r o l   U n d e r   D O S 

The DOS mixer is used to control playback volumes for application with DOS 
games. You should use MIXER.BAT to set the playback volume to a desired
level before starting a DOS game. The following volume controls are provided:

1. Master volume control
2. LineOut volume control
3. FM (OPL3) volume control
4. CD-Audio (Aux1) volume control
5. Wavetable (Aux2) volume control

Installation & usage:

1. In MS-Win95, open a DOS box. At the command line type:

	MD C:\ADISOUND

2. Insert the installation diskette in Drive A: and type at the command line:

	COPY A:\*MIXER.* C:\ADISOUND\.

    This will copy the files DOSMIXER.EXE and DOSMIXER.CFG to your
    harddrive.

3. From the DEVICE MANAGER, determine which I/O base address is set for the 
   SoundBlaster and Windows Sound System codec. At the DOS command line, type
   the following:

	C:\ADISOUND\DOSMIXER.EXE /SB:nnn /WSS:mmm
   
   where nnn and mmm stand for the I/O base address of the Soundblaster and the Windows
   Sound System codecs, respectively.
