The driver selection page:

Does not have a drop-down for DOS. As I mentioned in an earlier
message, my recollection of DOS gaming is that *each game* had its
own sound card drivers, not the OS. I have a crate of old games:
I've had an AMD/Intel PeeCee since about 1992 and did a *lot* of
gaming on it (when I wasn't using my Amiga ;-)... It's trivial to
get this working in an ISA-equipped 486 with an ISA SB-compatible
card... the problem I'm having, to repeat myself, is with a PCI-
only motherboard, a PCI sound card under *DOS* (not any flavor of
windows).

Thanks for the tips, on track or not.
