  This Steinberg SMP 24/2 driver is supported by Windows 3.11

  To configure Windows for Steinberg SMP 24/2, perform the following:


1. SETUP WINDOWS 3.11
=====================

  1.      Run Windows 3.1 or 3.11 (i.e. type WIN<enter/return>).

  2.      Open the Main program group.

  3.      Double-click the Control Panel icon of the Main Window to 
	  display the Control Panel.

  4.      Double-click the "Drivers" icon in the Control Panel.

  5.      Press the "Add" button, and select "Unlisted or updated drivers".
	  Select Drive A: or Drive B: (the drive, which contains your 
	  driver disk), change the directory to "\WIN311" and press OK to 
          install the "Steinberg SMP 24/2" driver.

  6.      If an older version of the driver is present, select "New" to 
	  overwrite the old version.

  7.      Setup the IRQ and base address and press the "Reset SMP" button 
	  to check your settings. 
	  Use this button to reset the SMP, if necessary.

  press the "Setup" button. 
  Press the "Synchronization.." button to get the Synchronization

  The driver provides one MIDI input "SMP SMPTE" for MIDI timecode 
  via "SMPTE IN" from the SMP 24/2. Mark the "SYNC On" field to 
  activate this input.
  If you want to write SMPTE via "SMPTE OUT" edit the "SMPTE offset" 
  field and press the "Start" button in the "Write SMPTE" box of the

  4.      In the Control Panel, double click on "Add New Hardware".

  5.      Click the "Next" button.

  6.      Click "No".

  7.      Click "Next".

          and click "Next".

          disk drive. Select Drive A: or Drive B: (the drive, which contains 
          your driver disk), change the directory to "\WIN311" and click OK.

  => Making Base Address and IRQ Settings <=
     ====================================

  If the Base Address and IRQ (or other) settings on the MIDI interface do not match 
  the settings in Windows, your MIDI Interface will not function properly. 
  Furthermore, if two MIDI (or other) interfaces in your computer use the same base 
  address and/or IRQ, you might get other problems with your computer (it might not 
  run properly at all!). Therefore it is very important to make sure that the settings 
  on the SMP interface are really in accordance with the setting in Windows and that 
  the SMP interface does not "conflict" with any other hardware in your computer.

  1.      Click the Start button on the Taskbar.

  2.      From the menu that appears, select "Settings" and then "Control Panel".

  3.      In the Control Panel, double click on "Multimedia".

  4.      Click the "Advanced" tab at the top.

  5.      Click the "+" button just before the 
          text "MIDI Devices and Instruments", in the list.

  6.      Select one of the SMP ports in the indented list that appears 
          and click "Properties".

  7.      Click Settings in the new dialog

  8.      The SMP-Dialog will appear. Change the Baseadress or IRQ settings.
          Click the "Reset SMP" button to check the new settings. 

  9.      If the Hardware Settings have been changed restart Windows 95


  => Synchronization <=
     ===============

  If you want to use the the SMP 24/2 Synchronization facilities 
  repeat point 1 to 7 and click the "Synchronization.." button 
  to get the Synchronization dialog. 
  The driver provides one MIDI input "SMP SMPTE" for MIDI timecode 
  via "SMPTE IN" from the SMP 24/2. Mark the "SYNC On" field to 
  activate this input.
  If you want to write SMPTE via "SMPTE OUT" edit the "SMPTE offset" 
  field and press the "Start" button in the "Write SMPTE" box of the 
  dialog.
