Digidesign AudioMedia III (April 1996) supports windows 3.11

TheUndertaker:
Here are the drivers I used to make it work on Windows 3.11, for anyone still looking for them.
These are officially for Win 9x, but installation was successfull without any error messages.
I had those drivers downloaded years ago on a laptop with Windows 10 x64 and today as I was searching again,
I've noticed that "setup.exe" in the install folder looked like a 16-bit application and then a file named "_inst16.ex_".
So I assumed that, if installation on a 16-bit version of Windows is possible, there may be 16-bit drivers included,
or at least that Win 9x drivers were also 16-bit up to some point. I don't know if newer versions work on Win 3.x too.
For now, I have only tested the analog in/out with an E-mu Emax and everything works as it should!
Tomorrow, I will try the S/PDIF in/out with my MPC, to check if digital connections are also working!

Good find. I would have to imagine it would also work with other 3.x versions.

I don't know if this is a hobby build, or production machine build. But well does audio record, on Win3x? I wondered if the higher freq. rates caused issues. There are some nice Dos (harddisk) support drivers out now. But even without that, you could use a ram disk. Maybe it wouldn't matter, if only capturing a track at a time. Playback "while" recording might be interesting.

Anyway, thanks for the cool info. It would be neat to see it in action.
