Important!

----------

This software is free to use but comes with absolutely no warranties.

Use it at your own risk! It is a hack for my personal use, but maybe also

of use for others.

Also A.C.T., the makers of the Prelude, will not provide any kind of support

for this software, as it is completely independent to A.C.T. and already

existing Prelude software.

What is it?

-----------

A ROMTag-module that will initialize the Prelude Zorro II soundcard to pass

through AMIGA native sound connected to AUX2 input to its stereo output.

Since version 1.1, also LINE and AUX1 get unmuted.

How to use it?

--------------

You need to install the file "PreludePassThrough" as a resident ROMTag. You

can use e. g. Loadmodule for this. If this works well, you can also put it in

the FLASH of certain Zorro cards to have it active at cold start.

The program can not be used from Workbench or CLI! If you try this your

computer may crash.

Why does it exist?

------------------

Recently I got a Prelude Zorro II soundcard for my AMIGA. It is a nice card,

but I had one issue with it: no pass through of AMIGA native stereo sound

after reset. So, if you are using e. g. a floppy-based game, Prelude can not

output this sound in a convenient way.

Requirements

------------

You need an AMIGA with Prelude Zorro II card.

The software was developed and tested on my AMIGA 4000T.
