Re: Attaching SCSI device to TP Dock



Sound works for my TP755CD in my Dock I using both win95 and Linux.  It's
probably a driver problem.  I haven't tried win3.1 though.  You might want
to try to play a dos game that has sound to see if it works.  Just exit to
dos, type "mwgames on" to load SB emulation and start the game.  If the
sound works fine, then it's just the win3.1 drivers.
