The main INF file is embedded into the SETUP.EXE binary. Might make

Thanks guys, this was helpful. I dumped the whole AWAV contents from the SoundPiper drivers in there and with a few more files got the install to complete. Things are really broken because the Audiovation was installed previously. I am going to nuke the system and start fresh and report back. Will take a bit. Thinking of using System commander so i can multiboot different OS's

Hopefully things will become less broken after the reinstall. Luckily,
all the important (and potentially somewhat customized) files were on
the first disk. The second one is mostly support software + some junk.
So, we should be good with this "crossbreed" disk set, I think...

Tom, can we determinate what the disk-2 files are for other OS? Win3.1x
done, what of W95 and NT?

The SETUP.EXE with its integrated INF file is for Win 3.1 only it seems.

The first disk also has the Win95 and NT drivers, but no setup program
for them, so they must be installed using the Add New Hardware Wizard or
Device Manager (the included DOC files confirm this). This will not
install any of the support software. The DOC files mention WINAPPS.EXE
on disk 2 that is supposed to install the SW under Win95/NT.

The OS/2 driver set appears to be standalone as well. No mention of disk
2 or support software in the OS/2 DOCs.

I just emailed ChipChat and surprisingly it didn't bounce. Not yet anyway...

I doubt I will get a reply, but eh, it's worth a shot.

I think I had seen the account for one of the brothers on LinkedIn - I tried contact there, but never got a reply.

It wont happen tonight, but I plan to run Setup in Win95/NT/OS/2 and see what happens. Never played with OS/2 before so I have to acquire it and see what happens. Let me know if I should bother if it appears the files are just for Win31

Also, I wasn't able to locate the midi files... I just inserted some really small random Midi I found on the internet. If anyone can find them... let me know!

The SETUP.EXE binary is only for Win 3.1. See the "Re: Other installs?"
branch of this thread...

I think the missing WINAPPS.EXE binary from disk #2 probably installs
the same 16-bit software referenced in the SETUP.EXE... but I have no
way of telling for sure.

I looked into my hard drive and fund ChipChat folder.
It contains folder "cc1" and folder "Disk2". The "Disk 2" folder is only 566KB.
It contains 3 folders and 1 EXE file.
1) AUDCLIPS folder
2) AWAV folder
3) MIDI folder
and WINAPPS.EXE

AUDCLIP folder is consisted with 3 sub folders
-- MUSIC folder, contains QUEST1.WA_ , QUICHITS.WA_ and START.WA_
-- PHRASES folder, contains YCOMMENT.WA_
-- SOUND folder, contains BIRD.WA_ and FROG.WA_

AWAV folder 14 files
-- AE00000A.AUD to AE00013A.AUD

MIDI folder contains 5 MIDI files
-- BANJOBOY.MID, MAPLRAG.MID, MINWLTZ.MID, PARIS.MID and PASQUINA.MID

Most of option floppies I brought here got damaged because of high humidity. I'm not sure if the disk 2 was saved before
it got damaged or I dug out some remanings. I mean I'm not sure if the disk 2 folder is complete or not.

If you guys think the "Disk 2" folder will help you, I may zip it and send it to Tom.
Before you ask, I can't find the adapter itself. I might have sent it to somebody together with PS/55s.
