Question:
How do I correct DOS games that are missing sound effects on my Ambra with the BOCA sound adapter?

Answer:
Follow the steps below

1. From the BBS or internet download the file FIXIT.EXE . To obtain the necessary file, click here .
2. Copy the file to the root directory of your hard drive (i.e. copy the file to C:\).
