As I always ask - why do you want to use DOS 6.22? Do you plan to run Windows 3.11?
For running games in pure DOS, just use the pure DOS mode of Windows 98 SE.
No, I use DOSSHELL for navigating in 6.22.
I've tried 98 SE's DOS mode and run into problems with drivers not working and some games don't like FAT32 when installing. Less hassle for me to simply switch out the CF card in my IDE adapter on the front of the case.

I think it may be worth it to use two cards then - one for maximum DOS compatibility, one for Windows (with your choice of EAX or A3D).
Looking into those last two, they seem to be surround-related. I only need stereo, should I focus more on MIDI and FM?
