Hi Virii, > Does that mean I can use multiple cards somehow?
In theory, yes, in practice, it will depend on how well you can edit the MPXPLAY etc config. Of course at most one of the cards can use SB16/similar mode, but as you say: > I figured it out.

Similar with the ForteMedia FM801, the more modern your mainboard the less hope there is for any PCI or PCIe slot to support anything sufficiently ISA DMA look-alike. Still, non-DMA stuff will happily keep working, e.g. Adlib / OPL3 style game music, in particular in games which use no complex timing things with soundcard IRQ, as more modern boards even make IRQs less DOS style these days... > Does anyone have a solid method for installing FreeDOS in DOSEMU? One is simply pre-installed with most DOSEMU copies. If you want to upgrade it, you can replace the files in your virtual C: or boot from a virtual A: floppy. Remember to keep some specific tools such as EXITEMU around, otherwise you will have to close DOS windows by mouse instead of being able to use the command.
