I'm considering reformatting my Slot 1 system and turning it into an MS-DOS 7.1/WinMe Dual boot. Currently it has an SB Live! Value CT4780 in it, and I like the card. It's contemporary and it works pretty well for Windows glide games. But it will be pretty crappy for DOS, since it requires a TSR to emulate an SB16 and it emulates one rather poorly. I'm considering adding an ISA sound card to this system, probably an ESS card or a CT2290. However, I do not want to use it for Windows Me, only for DOS.
How do I go about setting this up without causing a million IRQ/DMA conflicts? Do I just enable Plug n Play OS option in the BIOS and let Windows Me sort it out? and potentially even disable the ISA card in Device manager? What about DOS, do I only install the ISA card's drivers and ignore the Live! in the PCI Bus? Would it cause issues?
