Music System device driver
cms0 at isa? port 0x220
midi* at cms?
The cms
driver provides support for the
Creative Music System (C/MS). These cards were developed by Creative Labs,
the same people who designed the SoundBlaster cards. Chips were available
for the SoundBlaster to make them compatible with CMS.
The CMS cards are only capable of playing basic notes and noises,
making them suitable for playing midi, but not much else. The output is
stereo, but the cms
driver doesn't support stereo
control. The cards have external volume control, line-output and
speaker.
The base I/O port address is usually jumper-selected to 0x220. Valid jumper settings are for 0x210, 0x220, 0x230, 0x240, 0x250 and 0x260. There are no interrupt settings.
The cms
device driver appeared in
NetBSD 1.5.
