So ..anyone who has read my 'Mystery Meat' thread will know I built this from a motherboard I found in the loft ..
and wanted a multi OS system which I have successfully now done ..with pull out IDE caddies.
Runs Win 95os2 Win98se WinMe ..Win 2000 and WinXPpro
So whats missing ??
Pure DOS and possibly win 3.1 ..
For all the working OS I have a gainward Graphics card..and a Soundblaster LIve for Sound.
Although I can get DOS to run ...it is sadly without sound ..
I have got DOS to sort of recognise the Live drivers ..but constant errors regarding resource untilisation & conflicts ..and I've tried everything I can think of ..
As we retro builders know ..PCI isn't really the way to go when it comes to DOS ...ISA would be better.
Problem ..this ASUS A7V8X-X mobo is PCI only ..thus my choices are restricted to PCI.
I figured I might try an Audigy 2 ZS ...which If I can get running with DOS ..I'll replace the Live in all OS's
Has anyone used this Audigy in a pure DOS environment ?
If so ..how so ...
I dont have the original CD ..though it may be available in Vogons Drivers archive..
.but chances are ..there are no DOS drivers on the CD.
Can anyone help or advise ?
