I went out and bought the PAS16 yesterday, and installed it into my Gateway DX2-66V. I followed the instructions and set the SB side with DMA 1 and IRQ5 (the default) and then the PAS side with DMA 5 and IRQ 10. My question is how should I configure for MPU-401 compatibility. The manual and installation program recomme...

Just a shot here, but ya never know: I once bought a (REAL) cheap equalizer / power amp for my car tape player at one of those motel-room truckload sales, and it sounded great. For a while, that is. Then one channel quit entirely. I opened it up, and the amplifier chip for the bad channel had simply melted some ...

Misinterpretation, though it should be a crime in itself, is what United States lawyers use to make their bread and butter.
