Does it work in DOS?  Do you have ram installed on the card?

You need ram installed on the card  for the emulation.  You don't need
the SB emulator to get sound in win 3.11 or dos at all!!! For win 3.11
you need to install its drivers, for dos you only need to install
iwinit.exe, execute it and have the appropriate settings in your
autoexec.bat and iw.ini files, that's it.  Try running iwinit -v9.
Who needs SB emulation anyway, I don't... ;-)

You can disable the things you don't really need for starters,
secondly, some irq can be shared (with the irq used by the gus p'n'p
card ofcourse, not the other ones).

If you don't use the secondary IDE port, disable it! You'll have an
extra irq!  Something more: a printerport doesn't really require an
irq.  If you install a mr.bios and use the printerport's irq, it will
work just fine ;-)
