I have 3 old ISA sound cards that I was trying to get working in an old
Pentium 150 machine with a default FD 1.1 installation. But so far no
success. I list the card, a driver link, and my brief note for each.
Perhaps one of you will have a known-good driver or a tip/trick for any
of these:
Aztech Sound Galaxy Nova 16 (FCC ID i38-MMSN811 -- OEM'd for Packard Bell)
ftp://ftp.aztech.com/support/DOWNLOAD/sg/index.txt
Turns out that it tests for Windows, and I haven't tried to fool it or
hack it yet.

Media Vision Pro Sonic 16 (Jazz 16 chipset)

This is indeed for pure DOS, but the installer hangs at the step where
it analyzes the hardware resources.

Ensoniq Soundscape PnP Wavetable Sound Card (Gateway P/N SNDCRD006ABWW)
ftp://ftp.gateway.com/pub/hardware_support/drivers/win_95/sound/enwiz95.exe
This requires Windows but will also set up for DOS at the same time. I
temporarily installed a W98 drive on this same machine, had sound
working on it, then copied what seemed to be all the required pieces
into the FreeDOS installation. The driver now initializes without error
at boot, but so far I have not gotten any sound out of it with mpxplay
or ACP CD player (though both act as if they are playing something). I
have not yet tried a game or any other app.
