"DEVICE=C:\BT\BTASPI.SYS /D /P320"
(This sets the I/O address to 320h, default IRQ=5 -Tested on
T1950CT)
TAIS recommends using /P340 and /Q10 (I/O=340h, IRQ=10)

2. Edit CONFIG.SYS and modify EMM386.EXE line to read:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=C800-C8FF X=CF00-CFFF (CF00-CFFF is the memory area of the audio card)
3. Install the "Audio Adapter disk 1". In Windows run "A:\SETUP". 4. Reboot system.
5. The Audio Window contains "Audio Control, Read Me, Media Player, Sound
Recorder".
6. To play a .WAV or .MID file please attach a headphone or external

Note #3
========
This card was tested on a T1960CT and a T4900CT.
CardManager 3.0 was installed. The Quatech PCMCIA Dual RS-232 card was recognised and added to the card list.
The configuration used for this card was the second of three, which registered the following information:
Manufacturer: Quatech Inc
Model: PCMCIA Dual RS-232 Serial
Type: COM1
Compliance: 4.1
I/O Window 1: 03F8 03FF
I/O Window 2: 03E8 03EF
IRQ: 4
Configuration Registers: 05
Note: The internal RS-232 (serial) port was set through TSETUP.EXE to COM2 and in CardManager 3.0, MODEMS were set to use COM4.
While this card is installed in a unit the COM ports provided
through the card can only be active in pairs that share the same IRQs therefore available options are:
COM1 and COM3
or
COM2 and COM4
As tested the card worked fine with the COM1 and COM3
combination, and did not require the installation of any additional
