ZDoom DOS and SB16/Wave blaster

[Gordon228]

i have an odd question/problem with a dos port of zdoom in that it dose not detect that i have a midi card installed on my Pentium FreeDOS machine. the sound card in question is the sound blaster 16 with the attached wave blaster. maybe there is an updated ZDoom for dos that fixes this or is it a lost cause? also want to know your takes on this as it is funny to have an older zdoom running in dos.

ZDoom for DOS (i think it was 1.17c) didn't support MIDI music.

then why dose it have SNS_MIDIDEVICE command and also SND_LISTMIDIDEVICES command? strangely it looks for an AUTOEXEc.BAT but maybe removing the need to find it might solve all my problems?

Likely those are holdovers from the Windows version, since I imagine they'd be compiled from the same source.
