*Installation*

To install the Windows 95 driver:

2)Open up the Add New Hardware applet
3)On the first page of the Add New Hardware Wizard select Next
4)When prompted to auto detect hardware select No.
5)When asked the type of hardware you want to install select "Sound, video and
  game controllers". Then select Next.
6)When asked for the Manufacturer and Model of your hardware select "Have Disk"
7)When prompted for the installation disk, enter the full path name of the
  driver diskette (e.g., c:\sscape95\ or a:\).
8)When asked to select the installed device, select ENSONIQ Soundscape.
9)You will then be presented with the Hardware settings that Windows would like
  to configure the driver with.  These settings are based upon the hardware
  settings that the board is capable of along with the ones that are free in
  your system.  If either Inport/Outport Range does NOT match the current IO
  Address of the MIDI device or the Wave Device you will need to change the
  appropriate jumpers on your Soundscape card.

10)At this point, the driver should load.  If it can't load, you will be asked
   to power down your system.  Choose Yes and then verify the IO jumpers on the
   Soundscape card.


Also, if you have not already done so.  You should install the Windows 95
multimedia applications.  These include, a mixer, Media Player, Sound Recorder
and a CD Player.  Consult your Windows 95 manual for installation instructions.

**Outstanding Issues**
Sending large SysEx dumps to the driver will cause the driver to hang.

The DOS MT-32 mode command does not function.

Need more intuitive messages when the VxD fails.

The Audiostation included with the Windows 3.1 Soundscape software currently
does not support the Soundscape Windows 95 mixer interface.

DOS Compatible mode is not supported in this release.  This will be available
when the full build is available.  For now, DOS Compatible mode can load the
previous version of SSInit and the SNDSCAPE.COx files.
