   This file contains additional information and changes about the
   various software that was not available at printing time.


   DOS-based Installation
   ======================
   A DOS-based installation program is bundled with this release, which
   allow users to complete the Sound Card's software installation even
   if there is no Microsoft Windows Software installed on their system.

   To start the DOS-based installation, simply type INSTALL from the A:
   or B: prompt and press the <Enter> key and follow the On-screen
   instructions to complete the installation.


   Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions (MSCDEX.EXE)
   ========================================

   The above file is needed for operation of CD-ROM drives under the DOS
   environment. This file is only bundled with DOS version 6.x. Therefore, 
   if you are using DOS version 5, please contact your local Microsoft's
   dealers for a copy of MSCDEX.EXE (for DOS version 5 usage).


   CD-ROM Drives Support
   =====================
   
   The sound card supports the following CD-ROM drives:

   Brand            Models
   ---------        -----------------------------
   Panasonic    -   Model CR522/ 523/ 562 and 563
   Mitsumi      -   Model LU005S/ FX001D
   Sony         -   Model CDU31A/ 33A
   Aztech       -   Model CDA268-01A/ CDA268-03I

   The bundled CD-ROM device drivers supports only the following drives:

   Driver           CR-ROM Model
   ---------        -----------------------
   CR56X.SYS    -   Panasonic CR562 & CR563  
   SGCDM.SYS    -   Mitsumi LU005S
   SGCD268.SYS  -   Aztech CDA268-01A
   SGIDE268.SYS -   Aztech CDA268-03I
   

   Using Digital (.WAV) Audio with DOS 6.x's DoubleSpace*
   ======================================================

   The DoubleSpace utility included with DOS 6.x can cause problems
   if you attempt to play or record "high data rate" (i.e.: stereo/
   44.1kHz/16-bit) digital audio to or from a compressed disk. 

   Therefore, if you anticipate that you will be playing or recording
   a lot of stereo/44.1kHz/16-bit digital audio, you should set up a
   non-compressed drive partition and configure the audio application 
   to use this drive as their Work and Temp directories. In both
   programs this is done from the Setup window. 

   For information on setting up a non-compressed partition for your
   hard drive, refer to your DOS 6.x Users Guide. 

   *The same procedure should be followed if you are using Stacker, a
   third-party disk compression utility.


   Notes About Using EMM386.EXE
   ============================

   When running applications with EMM386.EXE installed, the following
   error message may appear:

      "EMM386 DMA buffer is too small"

   You can overcome this problem in two ways:

      - remove the EMM386.EXE entry from the CONFIG.SYS file

      OR

      - add the following parameter to the EMM386.EXE entry in the
        CONFIG.SYS file:

           D=64

           where D specifies how many kilobytes of memory should be
           reserved for buffered Direct Memory Access (DMA).

        An example of this may be:

           C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE D=64
