VSBPCMCIA brings Sound Blaster sound to DOS games through a PC Card sound card.

On many 486-era laptops the card slot can't make the transfers Sound Blaster games rely on. VSBPCMCIA stands in for a Sound Blaster so games play sound effects and music through the card. Works with ES1688 cards, CS4231-based cards, the IBM PCMCIA 16-Bit Audio Adapter and the Audigy 2 ZS Notebook; run the card's enabler first. The IBM card needs the v1.3 pre-release. ES1688 cards give the best compatibility, ahead of the CS4231-based cards. Based on VSBHDA by Baron-von-Riedesel and SBEMU by crazii.

General MIDI music in DOS games through a serial MIDI interface or an on-card synth.

Games expect an MPU-401 for General MIDI. MPUSHIM makes other MIDI hardware answer as one: the EXP Game Traveler's MIDI port, the wavetable synths on the CF-VEW212 and TDK MusicCards, or a serial adapter such as the Serdaco MPU-232. Works with older games and protected-mode ones like DOOM, from a single boot.

Turns on ES1688-based sound cards in DOS.

One command switches on the card's digital sound and FM music, plus its MIDI port and gameport where fitted. It detects the laptop's card slot setup by itself, with or without Card Services. Pair with VSBPCMCIA for Sound Blaster games.

Turns on the Panasonic CF-VEW211, CF-VEW212 and CF-JSC101, and plays wavetable MIDI on the CF-VEW212.

One command brings up digital sound and FM music. On the CF-VEW212, the included synth plays the card's wavetable as General MIDI for games, through MPUSHIM.

Turns on the Roland SCP-55 and its Sound Canvas synth.

One command readies the card's Sound Canvas for General MIDI music in DOS games.

Gives the TDK MusicCard MC-8000 and DMC-9000 wavetable MIDI in DOS, which TDK never provided.

TDK only supplied Windows drivers. MC8KGO turns the card on with one command, and the included synth plays its wavetable as General MIDI or MT-32 music for games, through MPUSHIM. A MIDI file player is included too.

Turns on the IBM PCMCIA 16-Bit Audio Adapter, which Eiger Labs, Dell and Digital also sold under their own names.

The card has no Sound Blaster, DMA or FM chip: an IBM chip plays samples from a buffer on the card. IBMAUDGO sets it up the way IBM's own driver does, and VSBPCMCIA's IBMAUD backend plays Sound Blaster games through it, with FM music made in software. How the card works was found by tracing IBM's DOS WAV player.

Turns on the EXP Game Traveler's gameport and its unlisted MIDI port.

The card only lists its gameport. EXPGXGO also switches on the MIDI port, found in EXP's Windows driver files; use MPUSHIM to play game music through it. Tested on the GAME/MIDI G3.

Turns on the I-O DATA PCJOY2's gameport and MIDI port.

One command gives DOS games a joystick port and MIDI output to an external synth module. Runs without Card Services on laptops with an 82365-type card slot, such as the IBM PC110.

Makes the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook usable in DOS.

In DOS a laptop leaves its CardBus slot switched off. AUD2GO powers it up and prepares the card for a DOS sound driver. Tested on the IBM ThinkPad 235.

Reads, writes and erases linear flash and SRAM memory cards.

These are the older kind of memory card, from before ATA flash cards became standard. LINGO copies them to and from disk, erases and rewrites them, with no extra drivers. It can also back up the system ROM card an HP OmniBook 300, 425 or 430 needs to start, and write a working copy to a flash or SRAM card.

Identifies a PC Card and lists the settings it accepts.

Every PC Card stores a short description of itself: maker, type and supported settings. CISDUMP reads and prints it, or saves it to a file, without disturbing a card already in use.
