I have now finally at home bulk Aopen Yamaha 744 PCI card? Which driver for Dos i should try and how to set it?

Why in topic about Creative?

I suppose that it also have SB emulation, otherwise it would be half-dead for Dos.

Few notes to SB 16 emulation driver and pure DOs:

I tried same driver with driver with !Live - CT4830 Dos compabitle.. I found 2 things which could help:
CTSYN variable value has to end with "\" character otherwise im getting message that SBport is not set, i checked that this message is used when file is not found, exist.. Its stupid parsing algoritm probably do this ctsyn path value+ctsyn.ini - after it wonders that path doesnt exist..

Other discover is freeze at driver loading, when PATH variable is longer than 126 character what is enabled in MS DOS 7+ but driver is crashing with that, which very strange errors.. Like reboot, loaded freeze.. runtime error, stack overflow and other "beautiful" errors..

I wonder if someone did found documentation to ctsyn.ini what exactly means parameter PCIPort and tis values?
ctsyn.ini in my C:\Windows are using this value b800 , Dos one is 0.
