Well since the Live drivers need EMM386 for DOS support and EMM386 for DOS6 isn't the same as Win9x... How many other people have successfully used a Live with DOS6 or earlier?
I'd be surprised if Creative (or Ensoniq more likely) had DOS 7 (Win9x) in mind rather than DOS 6 when they made those DOS drivers. I also don't remember EMM386 being much different between the two versions of DOS. The big difference seemed to be in the memory footprint of the OS, which was much larger in DOS 7 (probably due to FAT32 support and Win9x hooks)
On a side note, I actually had problems running AWE64 drivers in DOS. I can't remember why exactly, but parts of the DOS package refused to run because they "knew" that Win9x was installed on the system as a result of the DOS version. Using DOSVER didn't seem to help IIRC.
