           Installation Instructions for MS Windows 95
                           August 1995
           -------------------------------------------

This readme file will help you install the original GameWave32 
into Microsoft Windows 95.  If you have a GameWave 32Plus 
board, these instructions do not apply to you.  You should 
download GWPLUS95.TXT.  You must have the latest drivers from 
Orchid Technology for the GameWave 32, otherwise you may 
experience problems in Windows 95.  As of August 1995, the 
current driver versions for the GameWave 32 are 1.4 for the stock 
ProSonus wavetable ROM set, and 2.2 for the aftermarket upgrade 
InVision wavetable ROM set.  (For more information about the 
InVision ROM upgrade, download the file INVISN.TXT.)


There are two scenarios for GameWave 32 Win 95 installation:

1.  GameWave 32 was installed into Windows 3.1x, then the 
    operating system was upgraded to Windows 95.  Windows 95 will 
    automatically update the appropriate files and no additional 
    configuration should be done (with respect to the sound 
    card).

2.  The GameWave 32 is being installed into a machine where 
    Windows 95 is already installed.  

The following instructions will only cover case number 2, where 
Windows 95 has already been installed on a system.  Currently, it 
is recommended that you use the Multimedia utilities that ship 
with Windows 95 since the Orchid Technology utilities are 16-bit 
and may run slowly under Windows 95.


Installation Instructions
-------------------------

1.  Boot machine, as soon as "Starting Windows 95" is displayed 
    press F8.  This will bring up a menu to allow users choose a 
    particular type of bootup.  Select "Command prompt only".

2.  The installation for the GameWave 32 is done from the 
    Windows 95 DOS command prompt.  The necessary commands are 
    shown below.  The exact command syntax is shown in the left 
    column, with associated comments shown in the right column.  
    The comments are shown after a semicolon (;).  Do not type in

                                ; drive letter appropriate for

3.  The GameWave 32 software is written for MS DOS and Windows 
    3.1x, therefore do not rely on the GameWave configuration 
    manager to detect IRQ's or Port Addresses that are being used 
    by other peripherals.       


Other Issues
------------
1.  To configure the GameWave 32 for Sound Blaster emulation,     
    follow the instructions in your manual.  

2.  MIDI playback will default to Adlib compatibility.  If you 
    want to set MIDI playback for MPU401, you will need to do the 
    following (some MIDI files may not play back properly).

     a.  Launch "Control Panel"
     b.  Double-click on "Multimedia"
     c.  Select "MIDI" from the  Tabs
     d.  Select "Custom Configuration"
     e.  Click on the "Configure" button
     f.  Highlight the 16 MIDI channels (hold down the left mouse 
         button and scroll through the 16 channels) then click on 
         "Change".
     g.  Select Roland MPU-401 from the Instrument pull down 
         menu.

3.  To change the volume for the GameWave32 you will need to 
    adjust the volume control dial that is located on the back of 
    the card.  

4.  The GameWave32 is not designed with recording capability,
    therefore, the Audio Recorder program that ships with Windows 
    95 may generate an error message.
