PC-Task & WinUAE using Sound Blaster and or Adlib emulation in MSDOS

[Aardvark]

Ok, here's a fix for WinUAE Midi.
Add "serial=serial.device,0,0" tooltype to PC-Task icon, and set baud rate to 31250 in AmigaOS Serial prefs.

Otherwise PC-Task uses the serial port directly with 38400 bauds, and WinUAE does not pick it up for Midi Out.

Therefore using this tips the MT32 music in games will work?

What else do you have to do or type in PC-task ?

is there any way to use it under PC-Task?

yep I noticed that too, I have been playing with this config and PC-task to make the music in games work, but I have had no results yet

As I already said: They only work with Commodore Bridgeboards. (Selected ISA card is "inserted" in bridgeboard ISA slot). They are not directly readable by the Amiga side.

Amiga side can only see 16k shared RAM + some bridgeboard specific IO ports. All the PC side memory and IO is only visible to x86 CPU.

ok I'm understanding thanks

btw, which is the recommended commodore bridgeboard to use in winuae?

the A2386SX?

does the soundblaster music will work in games if you install the bridgeboard software + DOS v6 ?
