Hi everyone!
We created a new Mockingboard music player but we don't have a real Mockingboard to test on actual hardware. It works in Applewin, Virtual II, Jace, microM8 etc but we need to see if it works on a real Apple II+ or IIe so if you have a Mockingboard please give it a try and let us know... (right now it needs to be in slot 4)
It's an IRQ-based player so after you choose a song it will load and then go back to the menu. Music should start playing after it finishes loading...
Thanks!
You can get the disk image from http://paleotronic.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/mtrkdemo.z ip

Phasor software (which polls) and Ultima 5 (uses an interrupt) both play music -- though I did apply the IIgs music fix for Ultima 5.

No luck here either. Selecting a song from the menu results in loading activity and the return to the menu, but music playback never commences.
My //e is equipped as follows:
Aux Slot - Apple //e Extended 80-Column Text Card
Slot 1 - Apple Super Serial Card
Slot 2 - Apple II Mouse Card
Slot 3 - Passport MIDI Interface Card
Slot 4 - Sweet Micro Systems Mockingboard C (Rev. D)
Slot 5 - Apple II Memory Expansion Card
Slot 6 - Apple Disk II Interface Card
Slot 7 - Apple II High-Speed SCSI Card
