I downloaded Descent, but am not having much luck running it.
Whenever I run setup, it crashes with an interrupt problem (#12).
I tried to run the game with no setup, and it comes up, but the
robot, or whatever it is, never moves.  And, of course, I have no
sound.

I have an IBM PS/1 486 DX2/66 with 8MB of memory.  I have a Reveal
SC400 sound card, which is a 16-bit Soundblaster clone.

The README suggested manually setting up the configuration file,
but gives me no clue as to what values are acceptable for the
different variables.  DMA, port, and interrupt are obvious, but
I don't know what ID to use for my sound card.  I emailed Parallax
a note last Thursday, but have yet to hear from them.

I suspect Parallax is monitoring this forum, so maybe they could
help.
