I am not sure what you searching for..... But something may be help you: There are tools to use the pc speaker as output driver in Win3.x and 95. This may also work in a Virtual Machine. So you can play WAVs with the PC speaker. on the other way you can use a soundcard with a PC speaker input to …

I think for 3d in XP inside Virtualbox you need the Guest Addons installed. It works, for example i use XP in a VM and Play Need for Speed 2 SE with Nglide or Dgvoodoo. But the best Solution for old Games is to find a Patch to run it on Win7/10/..... PCem / 86box is the most Compatible Emulator... …

Directly connected one machine to the other instead of relying on the router. No difference. Wouldn't you need a crossover network cable for that particular scenario? (Such a thing is trivial to make if you have a crimper.) If it works with a crossover network cable, but not with the router, then …

If you create a Primary Fat Partition and connect it to a Win98 machine, then you could "sys c: g:" (for Example, g is the Drive Letter of the empty HDD.) But that would copy the Win98 system files, not MS-DOS 6.22, wouldn't it? I don't think it is possible to make the HDD boot DOS 6.22 without …

Some Soundcards have input for more than one CD-Rom-Audio. And some Soundcards have an Aux Input too that you can use. You can also build a Cable to use the Line-Input of the Soundcard.

PCem is more compatible. But slow. (You can also test 86box which has some more features.) There you can choose to emulate a Voodoo 1 or Voodoo 2 Add-on card. Dosbox is very experimental, not stable and unsupported. It depends on the Game what you use. Best way to play is searching a patch to run …
