As promised, the driver!!!!
You must create the 4 disks using the included program (in windows)
plus you MUST report on the card 🤣

edit: I also submitted the driver to driverguide.com...
Cosmic! 😁 I'll report back with the test results as soon as poss! Thanks a lot!!
Edit: I think I need some tech support please! 😀
I've installed everything. DOS (that is, pure win98 dos 7) installation seemed to go ok. My amended auto + config files look ok. Booting up, I can very briefly see Yamaha related messages on the screen, and they all look ok - I think.
However, if I go in to a DOS game's sound set up section, and select "general midi / 330" for music, it can't detect the mpu-401. I've checked both tiny dip-switches on the card itself, and they are set to 330. (Soundblaster music and adlib music work ok.)
BTW, windows98 installation didn't go well, but perhaps that's not too important right now.
Thanks a lot for any thoughts on the DOS general midi issue! 😀
Edit 2: For some reason, these two lines were added to the autoexec.bat:
c:\yamaha\opl4drv
c:\yamaha\opl4drv -r
The -r removes the driver!
I have now put a "rem" statement at the beginning of the 2nd line.
Now, when I boot up, the opl4drv stays in memory. I can now get a DOS game to see the "general midi 330" port, but I get no music, only hissing silence.
I'll keep working on it! 😀
Edit 3: SOLVED!
For some reason, the installer "hard codes" the autoexec wave table IRQ setting to 7, no matter what jumper you physically set it on the card itself. I left the autoexec setting alone at 7, and physically changed the jumper on the card to match this, and I now hear the wavetable tunes! 😁
