28.Dt CMS 4
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm cms
32.Nd Creative Music System device driver
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Cd "cms0  at isa? port 0x220"
35.Cd "midi* at cms?"
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Nm
39driver provides support for the Creative Music System (C/MS).
40These cards were developed by Creative Labs, the same people who
41designed the SoundBlaster cards.  Chips were available for the
42SoundBlaster to make them compatible with CMS.
43.Pp
44The CMS cards are only capable of playing basic notes and noises,
45making them suitable for playing midi, but not much else.  The output
46is stereo, but the
47.Nm
48driver doesn't support stereo control.  The cards have external volume
49control, line-output and speaker.
50.Pp
51The base I/O port address is usually jumper-selected to 0x220.  Valid
52jumper settings are for 0x210, 0x220, 0x230, 0x240, 0x250 and 0x260.
53There are no interrupt settings.
