drivers necessary to operate the sound controller on the M54Hi-Plus.
Prior to installing any drivers, follow the instructions in Chapter 3 on

About Device Drivers
Device drivers are necessary for the computer system to communicate
with devices such as CD-ROM drives, sound controllers, graphics
adapters, or any devices which are not natively supported by the system
BIOS.
Once started, device drivers remain active in the background of the
computer system. Usually a device driver is added to the CONFIG.SYS
file, the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, or both.
