RE: [RTTY] ritty available?

[George Johnson <w1zt@comcast.net>]

Jim,
I have not been able to get RITTY to work with anything but the ISA Sound 
Blaster cards.  The PCI cards definitely do not work.  I just fooled around 
with my old Chinese laptop and was trying to help Tony but could not get 
that built in sound card to work either.  It had a fixed address that is 
different than what RITTY expects and I could not change it so maybe that 
is part of the problem.  RITTY looks for a sound card and can handle 
different IRQs and the Vibra 16 sound chip but apparently can't track the 
different I/O address or possibly a different DMA channel.  RITTY could 
transmit through my laptop sound system but could not receive for some 
reason.  Brian fooled with it for a little while but was unsuccessful 
also.  I don't understand enough about the setup of the ISA sound card to 
know whether I could force the I/O address and DMA channel or not.  The 
laptop seemed fixed but I would think other ISA slot sound cards that were 
"compatible" and you could set A220 and D1 would also work with RITTY.
