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), ...

NO, but that wasn't a working solution anyway > Any suggestions on what PCI sound cards I should get to get sound to work with > some older DOS applications, particularly older DOS games?

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 ;-) -- ~~~ wow ~~~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
