What are "Miles Drivers", and how do I use them?

Written by: Matthew E. Bernold <MEB117@PSUVM.PSU.EDU>

Miles drivers (also known as MIDPAK/DIGIPAK) are a set of
drivers that software companies to easily support many soundcards.
The game is programmed to use these drivers, and then any soundcard
with an appropriate driver will automatically be supported.  The Miles
drivers for the GUS can be found on the Epas archive site.  The
current version of these drivers is v.97beta (filename GUSAIL97.ZIP)

There are three driver files and one TSR in the GUS Miles
Drivers.  The drivers are GF1MIDI.ADV, GF1DIGI.ADV, GF166.COM and the
TSR is ULTRAMID.EXE In order to use these drivers, you need to copy
them over existing sound drivers for another card.  These drivers
should have easily recognizable names like:

        (List taken from Monopoly Deluxe)

        SBDIG.ADV               Sound Blaster Digital
        SBFM.ADV                Sound Blaster FM Music
        SBPDIG.ADV              Sound Blaster Pro Digital
        SBP1FM.ADV              Sound Blaster Pro v1 Music
        SBP2FM.ADV              Sound Blaster Pro v2 Music (OPL3)
        MT32MPU.ADV             Roland MT32 Music
        PCSPKR.ADV              PC Speaker driver

        The above names are typical, but they may change.

                a) MIDI drivers: MT32, SCC1, ADLIB (Usually), Anything
        with 'FM' like SBFM or SBP2FM

                b) Digital drivers: SBDIG, SBPDIG, PASDIG, PCSPKR.
        Usually these drivers will have 'DIG' in them, but not
        necessarily.

Some games on the list in the readme file from the archive
may use the Miles drivers, but NOT have *.ADV files anywhere.  From
what I understand, the Miles drivers will have the word "Miles"
embedded in them somewhere near the beginning.  Look through some of
the smaller files in the directory with an editor and see if you can
find the word "Miles" somewhere.  Some games rename the Miles drivers
to *.DRV.
