Overview
~~~~~~~~
SBPRESET is designed for owners of PS/2 Models 55sx, 57sx, and anyone else
who has problems with their card not resetting on powerup.  SBPRESET looks
for the BLASTER environment setting to determine the location of the Sound
Blaster card.


Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Copy the file SBPRESET.COM to the \SB or \SBPRO directory on your hard
disk.

To have SBPRESET run automatically with your system's boot up, add it
to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file after the SET BLASTER statement.

    for example:
                     SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T2
                     \SBPRO\SBPRESET

If your AUTOEXEC.BAT does not contain a SET BLASTER statement, check your
manual for the proper setting of this parameter.  You must have this
setting for SBPRESET to work.

If you copied the file to a different subdirectory, put the name of that
directory in place of SBPRO in the example above.


Other uses
~~~~~~~~~~
SBPRESET can be used at the DOS prompt at any time to reset the Sound Blaster
Pro card as needed.  At the DOS prompt type \SBPRO\SBPRESET and press
[Enter].  If you copied the file to a different subdirectory, put the name of
that directory in place of SBPRO in the example above.

SBPRESET returns the following errorlevel values for use in batch files.
