The original Monster sound did not, but I believe both of Diamonds new cards (the MX200 and the M80) are supposed to support DOS games (in a Win dos box, anyway). For the most bang for the buck, though, I recommend the Turtle Beach Montego Xstream. Less than half the cost of the new MX200 and all the features save 4 speaker support. An excellent buy and it does have real-mode drivers. Toss the old ISA SB and get one of these for $80 from Buycomp.Com Todd __________________________________________________________ The chemists are a strange class of mortals who seek their pleasures among soot and flame, poisons and poverty... yet among all these evils I seem to live so sweetly... may I die if I would change places with the Persian King.
