I'm not familiar with all the cards from Guillemot... but I have a
'Guillemot Maxi-Gamer Phoenix' (16mb PCI) - which is just a 3dfx Voodoo
Banshee (chipset) .. so I follow 3dfx tips for setup.

If you can figure out which chipset the card actually uses... you're
probably in luck.

oohhh... it's a really fancy soundcard setup ;-) - just checked the
guillemot site...

I noticed http://www.alsa-project.org has one Guillemot soundcard listed
(MaxiSound Fortissimo) - don't see any mention of any other Guillemot cards.

For the maxi ISIS there is no driver.

I would like to develop one nut there a big probleme from guillemot.
They don't want to publish the base adress for the dream chip they use.
The only thing I manage to to is to use the ess sound chip with linux :
Init the sound card in studio mode
reboot in msdos mode
the use loadlin.
But it only worked 2 time over more than 20 try n each it worked it was
after a crash at starting windows (with V1.8 of the driver)!

So any help on spying IO made by a prog or a driver under WINDOWS 95
will be helpfull.

If you have working initialization under MSDOS, why don't you get
ida37fw.zip from Simtel and disassemble the driver. That should
give you the various ports and constants needed.

I have NO idea what this thing is, but I consider it completely
unethical to sell a piece of hardware without describing its use
and interface. A firm is welcome to have trade secrets on the
other side of the connector pins, though.
