DEVICE=GWDTA.SYS
- /Q

_ Add an audio PDD to the DTA that is not specified in MMPM/2. Up to five different /P:<pddname> may be specified, and they will appear before the MMPM/2 devices in the order specified. Duplicates will be ignored but their presence will be flagged│ to the user. If the PDD does not exist the name will be retained but it will be marked invalid.
_ Note that VGENAUD.SYS uses the first valid PDD in the list harvested by GWDTA, unless a different name is specified on the VDD command line (see VDD: VGENAUD.SYS). For most uses where it is desired to use the primary MMOS/2 soundcard for WinOS/2, this option can be ignored.
- /N
- Do not scan MMPM/2 for devices - only use those specified on the command line. This option is not normally required.
