These Roland MIDI sound modules are capable of 
playing up to 32 separate synthesizer parts in 
addition to 30 different rhythm sounds.  

In order to use the MIDI modules with your Sierra

(such as your home stereo or amplified speakers) are 
necessary to amplify and reproduce the sound.  The 
LAPC-1 card does not require a MIDI interface card. 

Contact Sierra On-Line to order the Roland PC
Desktop Music Studio.

\\mt32.inf
     ROLAND MT-32, MT-100, CM-32L, or CM-64

Before running your game, be sure to:

1.  Make sure the module is connected to your MIDI
    computer port and an external amplifier or 
    stereo or powered speakers. 

2.  Turn the power switch to ON.

3.  Set the volume of your stereo to a moderate 
    listening level. 

WARNING:  THE MIDI SOUND DRIVER WILL WRITE NEW 
          SOUNDS INTO YOUR MT-32.  IF YOU ARE USING 
          YOUR SOUND MODULE FOR COMPOSING AS WELL 
          AS PLAYING GAMES AND HAVE LOADED SPECIAL 
          SOUNDS THAT YOU WANT TO KEEP, BACK THEM

\\cga320m.hlp 
This combination works with an IBM Color Graphics 
Adaptor and an RGB (OR COMPOSITE) monitor.  It will 
produce black and white images, with various dot 
patterns used to simulate color.  See also CGA 4 
color.
\\cga320c.hlp
This combination works with an IBM Color Graphics 
Adaptor and an RGB monitor.  It will produce four 
color images, with various combinations used to 
simulate 16 colors.  See also CGA 2 color. 
\\mcga320.hlp
This combination should be selected for use on an 
IBM PS/2 Model 25 or Model 30, OR any computer that 
supports the MCGA standard.  If you have a newer IBM 
PS/2 Model 30/286, you may realize a slight speed 
increase if you select the EGA/VGA with RGB option. 
\\hercmono.hlp
This combination will work with the Hercules 
Monochrome Graphics Adaptor (or compatible) and a 
monochrome monitor.  It uses various patterns to 
produce 16 shades. 
\\pcjr320.hlp
This combination works with the built-in video 
circuitry of an IBM PC jr.  You should configure your 
system with no memory resident utilities.  See the 
box label for special memory requirements for the PC 
jr. 
\\vga320.hlp
This combination works with any card and monitor 
that claims VGA compatibility.  You must have a VGA 
card and a VGA monitor.  This selection will allow 
256 colors with 320 x 200 pixel resolution. 
\\ega320.hlp
This combination works with any adaptor that claims 
hardware compatibility with an IBM Enhanced Graphics 
Adaptor.  You do NOT need an EGA monitor.  Any monitor 
compatible with an IBM Color Display will work. 
\\tandy320.hlp
This combination works with the built-in video 
circuitry of a TANDY 1000 series computer.  If you 
have installed an additional graphics adaptor in 
your system, you may select that adaptor instead, 
but you must ensure that your monitor is connected 
to the correct plug. 
\\joystick.hlp
If you answer YES to this question, you must have an 
IBM compatible joystick attached to PORT 1 of your 
GAME CONTROL ADAPTOR at all times while playing the 
game.  Before you start your game, be sure that the 
JOYSTICK control is centered.  If it is not, you may 
experience difficulties.

Answer NO if you do not have a joystick, or do not 
want to use one.

TANDY 1000 keyboard.  It will allow TANDY 1000
owners to control their character with the
numeric keypad.  Certain later model TANDY 1000s
come equipped with an IBM compatible key layout,
and these owners should select the IBM Compatible
Keyboard.
The original TANDY 1000 series keyboard uses a
key layout that differs significantly from the
IBM standard.  This keyboard can be identified
by the location of the CAPS LOCK key in the
LOWER/LEFT corner of the keyboard.
\\stdmouse.hlp
