VIA 8233 Startup Sound driver.

An AC97 adaptation of the "SoundBlaster Startup Sound Driver" by Robert Muchsel. All the driver does is randomly playing a short tune during OS/2 startup (then it uninstalls itself, hence consuming no memory).

Besides serving as an amusement, the driver may also be useful in locating IRQ sharing problems - if the MMPM/2 driver, VIAUDD.SYS, does not work while STARTUP.SYS does, the IRQs should be examined for conflicts.

The driver requires a 14.xxx kernel.

Syntax

BASEDEV=STARTUP.SYS <parameters>

Parameters

/MV:

Set master volume to n% (0 to 100). Default is /M:100.

/V:

Set output volume to n% (0 to 100). Default is /V:100.

/SV:

Set PC Speaker volume to n% (0 to 100). Default is /SV:60.
