Can any one recommend a PCI sound card that works with older versions
of dos?  I don't have any problems with my Iwill SCSI card or PCI
NE2000 card.

I have got a Sound blaster PCI64V and it won't work in dos mode even
from Dos7.  Win95 says code 2 error?  Int 5 is set to Legacy (ie: not
PCI/PNP) and is free, LPT int share on or off has no effect.  If
Legacy Emulation is on then Int 7 has to be switched between Legacy
and PCI/PNP every time it boots else no sound in Win95.  I have had it
working in dos 7 but not with opendos 7.  I had to remove my modem and
network card as it seems to want three interrupts - 12, 7 and 5.

First time I bought a CT labs product and likely to be the last.  I
don't need a sound card to compose symphonies or play demanding games
on - just wnat to play a few WAV's, CD's and have music in Lemmings.

Any chance of USB speakers doing dos sound card emulation?
