This card uses the Vortex Chipset, software midi currently is only
supported under the windows dos box, under plain dos you either have
to live with OPL3 sound or if your card has a Waveblaster connector
you can get a midi card. On the other hand this method has an
advantage it doesn't depend on emm386 to be loaded like the Creative
cards do. Therfore your card will even run with Ultima7.
