Setup Environment
=================

Please take note that environment string required in the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file has been automatically setup during Software installation
process and the "SETUP ENVIRONMENT" Selection in Sound FX PRO
Diagnostics program (SG2.EXE) has been removed. User must use
Configuration Program (SGPFIG.EXE) to set up the enviroment string in
the AUTOEXEC.BAT file if there is a change in the hardware settings
(I/O base address, interrupt or DMA channel) of the Sound FX PRO
card.


Additional Parameter for SGCDM.SYS CD-ROM Driver
================================================

If you are using a Mitsumi LU005S CD-ROM drive with the sound card,
please note that there is an additional parameter (optional) for its
SGCDM.SYS driver.

The additional "/X" parameter is be used to load the stock buffers
(specified with the "/M" parameter) into extended memory.

For more information on the "/M" parameter, please refer to your
sound card's manual.


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
