[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Trakblas

I'm not sure if this is the right newsgroup but...

I recently downloaded Trakblaster v1.2, which is supposed to play Amig
Soundblaster files on the PC using the
Soundblaster card. Unfortunately it gets about 10 seconds into the song and 
locks up - I have to cold reboot. I'm using a 25mhz 386 and have tried 
running it with a stripped-down autoexec and config. Anyone have any ideas?

I've tried several different songs as well.

Everything else about the Soundblaster seems to work ok.

Hi,

  i've tried TrakBlas on my 386/20 and it does the exact same thing (10 sec
  into the song, it hangs with a divide error or something)

  A doc file that comes with the program says that the guy who prepared
  the archive tried it on his 386 and it failed... Could this be a problem
  with all 386 machines, or something more subtle?
