Actually an ISA sound card and PCI one will usually co-exist. The trick
is to get a non-pnp ISA one that you can set to the classic settings.

Easiest solution is to do what has been suggested, setup a separate
system just designed to play classic DOS sutff. I have a 486DX-2 with a
good ET-4000 based video card and a SoundBlaster 2 for the sound. I
have a couple non-PnP SoundBlaster 16's that I'm holding onto for a
higer end system I'm planning on building for later games.
