1. Installing the Drivers Manually
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For Users with Microsoft Windows:
---------------------------------
1. Start Windows as you normally would.
2. From the Program Manager Main Menu, select FILE, then RUN.
3. Type in
A:\SETUP (or B:\SETUP)
For Users WITHOUT Microsoft Windows
-----------------------------------
1. From the DOS prompt, type in
A:\INSTALL (or B:\INSTALL)
2. Changing configuration of the SE1440
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The best way to change configuration of the SE1400 is by
using the utility CSACSET.
Other options are available for Windows configuration. Use
the 'Drivers' icon in the control panel and select the
following:
Crystal External MIDI Driver
Crystal OPL3 MIDI Driver
CS31BA11 Business Audio, WSS 2.0 Enhanced
The MIDI Mapper is modified by selecting the 'MIDI Mapper'
icon in the control panel.
3. Hot Key Mixer Control TSR
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.1 CSACHMX1.COM
CSACHMX1.COM is a resident DOS utility to control the
SBPro Master, FM, and Voice volumes and muting. The utility
is loaded at the DOS command line and functions according to
the following rules:
- works in WSS and SBPro modes
- works with most games
- turns off when Microsoft Windows is running
- will not run in a Microsoft Windows DOS box
- requires CS4231 hardware
- works with OTI929 if present
1.2 Volume Controls
Changes to SB controls are made by monitoring the use of the
following key sequences:
ALT + Gray Page Up or Page Down (Scan codes E049h and E051h):
- increment SBPro master volume louder and softer, respectively;
which corresponds to incrementing both FM and Voice
simultaneously.
ALT + Gray Home or End (Scan codes E047h and E04Fh):
- increment FM volume louder and softer, respectively.
ALT + Gray Insert or Delete (Scan codes E052h and E053h):
- increment Voice volume louder and softer, respectively.
Scroll Lock (Scan code 46h):
- toggles the mute bits for FM and Voice simultaneously, and
it also updates the ROM BIOS variable at 417h which
keeps the keyboard LED updated automatically.
The keystrokes cause the update of the memory and hardware
associated with each function and then they are discarded.
The gray keys exist only on the keyboards with 101/102 or
more keys and are usually located in between the regular
keys and the numeric keypad. These keys are functionally
duplicated by the keys on the numeric keypad, and therefore
should not be missed.
1.3 Mixer Remapping
This version supports remapping of the FM channel to
aux1, aux2, or Line. This may also be changed in the
resident utility. Syntax is:
/F[M]=<1, 2, L> Default is L.
Display of the 4231 indirect registers on the color or
monochrome screens. These are updated 18 times per second
(every 55ms).
/D[1 2 3 4][M] 1,2,3, or 4 specify the level of display
1=CS4231 indirect regs only (Default)
2=1 + direct regs R0-R2
3=2 + MC regs MC1-MC7
4=3 + SB mixer regs 4h,Ah,Ch,Eh,22h,26h,28h,2Eh
M for monochrome display. Default is color.
Note: Brackets ([]) indicate optional parameters.
Less than/greater than signs (<>) indicate choice of one.
1.4 Interrupts
The following interrupts are hooked by this utility:
09h (low level keyboard) - monitors to detect specific keystrokes.
1Ch (system timer tick chain) - monitors to re-acquire keyboard
interrupt 09h.
2Fh (multiplex) - uses 1605h and 1606h to detect Windows
startup and exit;
- uses 1600h to check if Microsoft Windows is
already running;
- uses 4231h to check if the Mixer is already
installed; and
- uses 4232h and 4233h to control the on and off
functions of the Mixer.
1.5 Messages

6) The following message is displayed when the TSR is
removed from memory:
CS4231 Mixer is un-installed.
7) The following message is displayed when the TSR is
enabled or to show status:
CS4231 Mixer is enabled.
8) The following message is displayed when the TSR is
disabled with an off command:

12) The following message is displayed when the user
attempts an operation that cannot be performed:

(that is, the TSR cannot be removed from memory because another TSR
that uses one or more of the same interrupts has been installed
afterward.)
4. Device Drivers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2.1 Drivers
The driver set consists of the following:
CS31BA11.DRV - WAVE IN, WAVE OUT, AUX, and MIXER Drivers
2.2 Game Mode Volume Control Hot Keys
Master volume control hot keys are available when
playing a game in a DOS window. "Ctrl-Alt-Page Up" and
"Ctrl-Alt-Page Down" adjust the volume of both the digital
wave data and also the FM synth. On AT style keyboards, the
function is performed by the "Page Up" and "Page Down" keys
not on the number keypad.
2.3 Full Duplex DMA Channel Configuration
Windows Sound System compatible hardware limits DMA
channel selection to the following:
╔══════════════════╤═════════════════════╗
║ Play Channel │ Capture Channel ║
╟──────────────────┼─────────────────────╢
║ 1 │ 0 ║
╟──────────────────┼─────────────────────╢
║ 0 │ 1 ║
╟──────────────────┼─────────────────────╢
║ 3 │ 0 ║
╚══════════════════╧═════════════════════╝
It is possible to select other full duplex combinations with
the CS31BA11.DRV configuration dialog box. However, the
driver will not load the next time Windows is booted.
