I have a 486 dx2-66 clone system, 3 slot VLB, runs great.  Mouse on com1, 
modem on com 2.  IDE and video cards are VLB.  Everything works great, 
Doom runs full frame, etc.  But: my soundblaster card does not work with 
Windows.  I have tried everything.  It is the soundblaster 2.0 - the old 
one, mono only, i got it on sale for $27.  Ok, I know, you get what you 
pay for.  But it really ought to work.  Windows thinks no drivers are 
installed.  I have run from windows the install program 
c:\sb\win31\winsetup and also tried manually reinstalling the drivers.  
This is driving me crazy.  And it is all such regular stuff, it ought to 
'just work'.  I changed the IRQ on the card and in my autoexec, 
reinstalled the whole thing, still no sound.  Tried again with orig IRQ 
but diff setting on the i/o address (240 not 220) and still no sound.  Argh!

What can I do to fix this?  Any advice?  I need to use this card, it is 
someone elses system (a schools, actually) and there is no $ for some 
fancy sound card.  Thanks,

kevin
