Comments:
---------
SBPro: stereo can be reversed
AWE: the effects engine is not initialized by the player
     the -vx option does not have any effect
Two effects are missing: set glissando control and set finetune.
Just tell me if you need them.

Hints for optimal use of your memory on the IW (GUS-PNP): If you have two
memory modules of different size insert the bigger one into the first slot.
If you have at least one 4M module and your card has 512k on-board, don't
forget to change the jumper setting.

 256k and 1M modules             at least one 4M module

With no RAM on-board don't change the jumpers.
