SBMIX version 21-JAN-2020 available (Announce)

Fifteen years after the last release I discovered and fixed a bug that prevented successful detection of the SoundBlaster card in Bochs (at least in version 2.6.11), when SBMIX is run a second time. It would then just have printed "SBMIX: Hardware I/O error!" and you had to restart Bochs.

I still haven't bothered trying Bochs in recent years. Too busy messing with QEMU and VBox. Also, while I did rarely use this util (and put it on some floppies), I don't remember the details. But it is useful.

But I did remember that it was already mirrored on iBiblio many years ago, so I updated that.

Bochs is still a lot slower than QEMU, VBox, or Virtual PC. I don't use it regularly.
