The IBM Audiovation Soundcard for the MCA bus

The purpose of this page, is to supply the Audiovation drivers, bundled software, and documentation.

In order to make your MCA card accepted by your system BIOS, you will need the so called *.adf file on your reference diskette or reference partition. This can be obtained elsewere, or from:

Utilities and Options Diskette P/N 83G9956

Drivers:

The basic Audiovation drivers, consists of three diskettes. They are needed for any operating system. They are designed for Windows 3.x. There is no drivers written specific for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT or any other Windows.
The drivers for Windows 3.x do work with Windows 95, but not with all applications.
The drivers don’t work in a plain DOS environment - DOS applications must run in a DOS window under Windows.

Driver diskette #1/3 P/N 83G9947
(Watch subdirectories when unzipping the above! use: pkunzip -d) Driver diskette #2/3 P/N 83G9950
Driver diskette #3/3 P/N 83G9953

If your system is running under OS/2, your will need the three above, and further two diskettes. They are to be found at my own isp:

OS/2 MMPM P/N 83G9944
(Watch subdirectories when unzipping the above! use: pkunzip -d) OS/2 Mwave Manager P/N 83G9941

(There was a third OS/2 2.1 bug fix file avos221.exe, but I have lost track of it.)


Documentation:

The original paperbased manual, were once to be found at IBM’s ftp as av20doc.exe. It was made in the Word 5.1 format.
I have prepared a html version of the same. It is a 139KB zipfile, which will expand to 600KB.


Bundled software:

This consists of:

TalkWorks recording software P/N 83G8253
TalkToPlus (two diskettes) 52G7272 and 52G7273;
Monologue 52G7271;
Oem’ed Band-In-A-Box;
and some ISA stuff 83G8250.

The latter probably thrown in by another trainee. You could live happily ever after, without any of it.
