You can use the information in the resource list to help you configure MS-DOS games
for use with the Sound Blaster Audigy card.
The resource list may show three entries of "Input/Output Range" and two entries
of "Direct Memory Access". They correspond to the sequence of entries in Table B-1
and Table B-3. If the number of entries do not match, a good estimate of the identity
of the device is its I/O address or DMA channel.
To find the current Sound Blaster Audigy SB16 Emulation resources in MS-DOS mode:
