Helping a family member move and found an old Compaq Evo N600c. 32mb Radeon Mobility video card, 512mb RAM, 1.2 Ghz Pentium III-m. Installed Windows 98SE on it, still trying to get the audio drivers working. I'm thinking of using it mostly for Windows 95/98 games that don't work on my main rig: Starfleet Command and Jane's Fighters Anthology come to mind.

Once I get Windows 98 working fine, I'm thinking of trying to install some DOS games on it to. How viable is this setup for DOS gaming?

Also, I try to install theses drivers (http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/det … wEnvOid=20#tab4) for the internal sound card. It installs as "ESS Allegro PCI Audio (WDM)" and another "Unknown Device". The Unknown Device asks for 12 various sys and drv files, some of which I think for XP files. Just for testing, I found these files on other computers and sites and put them together to finish the driver install and now I get a Windows Protection Error on startup. This makes me think the drivers are for XP and not for Windows 98, despite what it says. Any help on installing the soundcard would be appreciated. I think it's an ESS 1988.

The files it asks for to finish the install of "Unknown Device" are"
