PCI soundcards for SB legacy stuff are always more worse then ISA ones. See here http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0503736/php/drdoswiki/index.php?n=Main.SoundCardChip You can download the drivers here http://easymamecab.mameworld.net/html/snddosdr.htm (third party) creative no longer offers downloading them > Also: Whenever I try to load the default "FreeDOS with EMM386+EMS and > SHARE", EMM386 crashes when FDCONFIG.SYS gets to the line; Don't load share if you don't really need it. > 123?DEVICEHIGH=C:\FDOS\bin\cdrcache.sys FDCD0001 CDRCACH0 12000 In DOS you won't have much fun installing as many drivers to get coolest functions and most support. Load only as much as needed for the thing you currently want to do. Otherwise you will ran into to less low memory or in other strange incompatibleness. > If I keep MENU 2 from loading that line, it does not detect my CD/DVD drive > at all. Any workaround?

Load only HIMEM.EXE, EMM386.EXE (most need EMM386, but the real old ones work only without), ctmouse, cd-rom driver only when absolutely needed, shsucdx also only when absolutely needed, path.... Start other drivers only when needed, otherwise you have to fight with incompatibleness.
