How to Install the Ensoniq Sound Card Drivers

This document contains installation instructions for the Ensoniq sound card drivers purchased before July, 1995. The only time these drivers need to be installed is if the sound card was purchased as an add-on, or if data loss or corruption occurs. These drivers are installed through Windows 3.x. This document assumes that the sound card is installed in the computer system according to the Userís Guide and that the 3.5 inch floppy drive is the A: drive.
