I have a Gateway 486/33C and I would like to add multimedia support for
MS Windows.  Are there multimedia upgrade packages available that will
include everything I need?  Is it better to buy the parts separately?  I
have a reasonable amount of hardware knowledge.  Interrupt numbers, SCSI
device numbers, DMA channels, and mapped memory are all things I am familiar
with.  As long as the device has reasonable instructions I should be able
to set things up.

My PC does currently have an internal modem which uses one of my COM ports.
I also have a 3c503 ethernet board in my PC.

If I buy the parts separately do I need to get only a CD-ROM drive and a
sound board?  Will I also need a SCSI controller?  What will this do to my
current hard disk?  I don't know what the controller is, it's the standard
controller from Gateway, but I'm almost positive it's not SCSI.

Any and all advice, recommendations, etc are welcome!

Thanks in advance, Marc
