I pointed you to that site because of the forum they have.
Doing a 2 second search for dos I found a post linking to this:

Montego A3DXstream: DOS - How to install the Montego for DOS only
Note: These instructions are for a DOS only installation. If you have
Windows
installed, please see the Montego A3DXstream User's Guide for
installation instructions.
To install for DOS:
1) Create a directory "tbeach" on the root of drive C ("c:\tbeach").
2) Copy all of the files in the "\ms_dos\tbeach\" directory on the
Montego A3DXstream CD to the "tbeach" directory you just created.
(There should now be two files, "asp4dos.com" and "vortex.ini" in
the "c:\tbeach" directory.
3) Add the following lines to the beginning of your "autoexec.bat" file:
SET WINBOOTDIR=C:\TBEACH
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D3 T4
C:\TBEACH\ASP4DOS.COM
To change resource settings:
If you need to change the resource settings for the driver,
you'll need to edit the "vortex.ini" file in the "tbeach" directory.
The following entries in the "vortex.ini" file control the resource
settings.
SBFMBASE
Sets the port address. Valid resources are 0x220 or 0x240.
Default is 0x220
SBFMDMA
Sets the DMA channel. Valid resources are 0x0, 0x1 or 0x3.
Default is 0x3
SBFMIRQ
Sets the IRQ. Valid resources are 0x2, 0x5, 0x7, or 0x10.
Default is 0x5
If you change the resources you must also change the "SET BLASTER"
statement in your "autoexec.bat" file to match:
A is the port address.
I is the IRQ.
D is the DMA.
(Note that these variables do not require the 0x prefix.)
Example:
SET BLASTER=A240 I7 D1 T4

You will notice you need the driver asp4dos.com which you can get from your
install cd, or from the latest drivers found on the www.vortexofsound.com
site itself under drivers.
I should also tell you that most dos games do not work if you set the irq
over 7 period.
I have been using a PC since about 1989 for gaming with a crappy new 286
packard bell as my first rig. Dont expect any card to sounf exactly like the
original soundblaster would have playing this game (for one thing you dont
get the hiss of the soundblaster pro 2 on a new soundcard).
