Programming Sound Cards CD

A new website called DiscMaster has a bunch of programming CDs, including one called: Programming Sound Cards
http://discmaster.textfiles.com/browse/63/Programming%20Sound%20Cards.iso

The directory names are not very descriptive, but looking in a couple of the folders I found lots of example source code for working with sound cards under DOS. May want to add a link to this resource.

Additionally I found another CD with very little searching: Programmers Heaven 1
They have a section for MS-DOS programming: http://discmaster.textfiles.com/view/4555/Programmer's%20Heaven%20(InfoMagic)(March%201997).BIN/www/about.htm

There is probably a ton of other DOS programming resources on that site.

Sound drivers are called `DIGPAK`, not `DIGIPAK`

Hi,

Sorry if this is a bit of a nitpick. But we want this stuff to be historically correct, right? 🙂

So no I between DIG and PAK. Understandable and oft-made mistake.

Please add link to 386MAX source code

Earlier this year, the source code of the 386MAX Memory Manager for DOS was released under GPL 3.0 license.

See https://github.com/sudleyplace/386MAX

Interpreters for DOS
