Hello... I have a problem... A friend of mine gave me an Acer Magic
sound card... The only problem is it I can't git it werkin'... I don't
have the disk I need to hook it up... There are no jumper settings fer
IRQ's er nuthin so it must be software configured... Does anyone have the
software I need? PLEASE E-Mail me, thanx...

Well, I've bought one of these cards at a discount. It contains the address
(which I don't have with me, sorry) of a company called HARMONY who are
based in BIXBY, CA.

I've been doing a bit of digging and find that the card appears to be similar
to a so-called MAD16. It has capabilities very similar to a SoundBlaster 16,
and as you say it needs software configuration.

I'm trying to get it working on my OS/2 Warp system but the MAD16 driver
only gets it working for DOS sessions.

I hope you have success.

Is it the AcerMagic S20 or the AcerMagic S30? If it's the S20, then I
may be able to help you. If it's the S30, it should have the Creative
Vibra 16 Chip on it, making it a Sound Blaster 16. Please reply by
email.
