Many of the newer A3D cards do have legacy DOS support.  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
