I have a big problem with Soundblaster on a 33MHz-386 board.
Description of the problem:

I have installed the Soundblaster (ver1.5) in my computer. Then I tried
to run the test-sbc.exe program. It stops with a window saying: Error 0400.
The manual says: DMA-conflict (Remove your scannercard or ...) SB uses
DMA channel 1 and this feature cannot be reconfigured. (Great, what can
I do? I haven't got a scanner card. Maybe I schould buy one to remove it from
my computer :-) 
Then I tried parrot.bat and ... it worked !!!!
Then I tried fmorgan.bat and ... it worked !!!!
Then I tried sbaitso.bat and ... it said "HELL" and locked up the computer !!!!

Description of hardware:

33MHz 386 with C&T-chips
AT-Bus-Controller with 210MB-Seagate-harddisk
Speedstar SuperVGA
Soundblaster version 1.5 (without CMS-Chips)


I NEED HELP !!!
I tried the SB on three different computers and it worked. I hope someone
out there knows how to get that Sound%$^#$& to work on my machine.
Thanks in advance for your help. Please answer by EMail and I post a summary.
