It's been a while since I got back to this. I just got a spare sound card from my friend. It's a Diamond Monster Sound MX400, which uses a ESSCanyon3D chipset. I'll let everyone know how this turns out once I have the time to test it in FreeDOS. On Mon, Jun 15, 2009 at 2:07 PM, D Z wrote: >

I did use the SB in the FD EMM386 and JEMM386. Although I got JEMM386 to load but not the FD default one. Great, I can't find any esstech sound cards on eBay, guess I'll have to keep looking online then. Also, pcdos2k, are you saying that Aureal Vortex 2 won't work on any nForce motherboards? On
