I also have a 386sx (6MB) and QEMM with a SoundBlaster and piles of other Interesting Stuff installed. No such problems with DMA, except with a certain SSI game (Secret of the Silver Blades). What IRQ did you configure the card for? I had to change from the default setup to IRQ5 (I think) to prevent hardware conflicts. -- ___Mark S.
