Anyone have any idea which PCI sound cards will work with with FreeDOS
on modern systems?

Intel ICH, ES1371/1373 AKA SB128PCI/SB16PCI, EMUxxx
(SB512/LiveAudigy), ... (MPXPLAY)

NO, but that wasn't a working solution anyway

SB Live24 (ask Laaca, I don't use old games)

NOT a full emulator

BOCHS and QEMU do work in FreeDOS and can emulate SB16 ... so the only lacking
thing is the connection from HX WINMM.DLL to PCI sound hardware ;-)

> Emulated CPU of course wastes CPU time

Much time, but a non-issue (or even desirable) for old games + new CPU ;-)
