The Discovery CD 16 Multimedia system comes with 5 3.5” diskettes. Three
diskettes are for the sound card, one is for a ‘Text-to-Speech’ application, and
one disk is for the CD-ROM device driver and utilities.
The Sound Blaster files are copied to the hard disk drive by an INSTALL.EXE
utility on disk 1. The utility will prompt the installer for the second and third
disks. The routine will modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.
Upon completion, the user is prompted to re-boot the system so that the
changes can take effect. The utility will also modify the Windows SYSTEM.INI
file. When you run Windows, a SB routine will modify and add the Sound
Blaster utilities to a new Program group. The routine will re-start Windows so
that the changes can take effect. The sound card can be tested in a DOS
environment by running TESTSB16. This file is located in the sound blaster
sub-directory SB16.
The utility will test the existence and functionality of the following areas:
I/O Address: IRQ:
DMA channels:
220H
5
1,5
DSP Version:
4.05
The bold face values above are typical for the default configuration. The Sound

2-operator FM Music

The CD-ROM files are copied to the hard disk drive by an INSTALL.EXE utility
on the disk 1. The routine will modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS
files. Upon completion, the user is prompted to re-boot the system so that the
changes can take effect. To install CD-ROM into Windows, the user must
manually add the ‘QuickCD’ to the Sound Blaster 16 program group. Open the
