Environment Variables CTSYN Environment Variable BLASTER Environment Variable Environment variables are used to pass hardware configuration information to the software in your system. For MS-DOS, your audio card includes the following: ❑ CTSYN Environment Variable ❑ BLASTER Environment Variable The CTSYN environment variable points to the location of the CTSYN.INI file, which usually resides in the Windows directory. The syntax for this variable is as follows: CTSYN=path where path is the location of the CTSYN.INI file. The BLASTER environment variable specifies the base I/O address, IRQ line, and DMA channels of the SB interface. Its syntax is: BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6 The parameters in the command are as follows. This Parameter Axxx Ix Dx Hx Pxxx Tx Specifies SB interface's base I/O address. IRQ line used by the audio interface. First DMA channel used by the audio interface. Second DMA channel used by the audio interface. MPU-401 UART interface's base I/O address. Card type. x must be 6.

Environment
Variables
Environment variables are used to pass hardware configuration information to the software in
your system. For MS-DOS, your audio card includes the following:
CTSYN Environment Variable
BLASTER Environment Variable
CTSYN Environment
Variable
The CTSYN environment variable points to the location of the
CTSYN.INI
file, which usually
resides in the Windows directory. The syntax for this variable is as follows:
CTSYN=path
where path is the location of the
CTSYN.INI
file.
BLASTER Environment
Variable
The BLASTER environment variable specifies the base I/O address, IRQ line, and DMA
channels of the SB interface. Its syntax is:
BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6
The parameters in the command are as follows.
This
Parameter
Specifies

Second DMA channel used by the audio interface.
P
xxx
MPU-401 UART interface’s base I/O address.
T
x
Card type.
x
must be 6.
