PURPOSE
=======

They are individually used for:

SBDD.SYS    Sound Blaster Wave+MIDI Dos Device Driver
SBPDD.SYS   SB PRO Wave+MIDI Dos Device Driver
SBP2DD.SYS  SB PRO OPL/3 Wave+MIDI Dos Device Driver
SBWD.SYS    Sound Blaster Wave-only (aka K12) Dos Device Driver
SBPWD.SYS   SB PRO Wave-only (aka K12) Dos Device Driver (also for PRO OPL/3)


AUDIODD
=======

AUDIODD device drivers are used by amongst others CD-ROM applications like
almanac, CD-ROM encyclopedia, and other IBM EDUQUEST supported products.


INSTALLING AUDIODD DEVICE DRIVERS
=================================

To use the driver, copy SBXXX.SYS (SBXXX.SYS being one of the drivers listed
above) into the C:\ root directory, and ensure the following line exist in 
the CONFIG.SYS 

            DEVICE=C:\SBXXX.SYS audio [dma] int ioaddr bufsize

where

     audio =   AUDIO device number (usually 1)
     dma =     DMA channel used by the SB card (using 1) (not applicable to 
               non-SB PRO drivers)
     int =     interrupt level used by the SB card (usually 5 or 7)
     ioaddr =  i/o address used by the SB card (usually 220)
     bufsize = i/o buffer size in kilobytes (usually 4)

and REBOOT the computer.

Hence, 

                       DEVICE=C:\SBP2D2.SYS 1 1 7 220 4

This assumes that the Sound Blaster Pro OPL/3 card is set at DMA=1, IRQ=7,
I/O=220, buffer size of 4k, and addressed as device AUDIO1$.  

Or,

                         DEVICE=C:\SBD2.SYS 1 5 220 4

This assumes that the Sound Blaster card is set at IRQ=5, I/O=220, buffer size 
of 4k, and addressed as device AUDIO1$.  Notice that the DMA channel parameter 
is missing.  This is because DMA channel is fixed at 1 for non-SB PRO cards.
