In an attempt to reclaim some Win 95/98 Nostalgia and as a budding Toshiba addict I picked up a junk Toshiba V3100. The V3100 is an 810 chipset and this machine currently have a Celeron processor installed. I cleaned the whole machine up and the thing runs like a top. I swapped out the IDE for an IDE to SD and cloned the original hard drive. Everything was great until this point.
I purchased a AOpen YMF744 PCI card due to its great compatibility with DOS games. It is working great with Windows games and I have gotten it to work with Doom and Doom 2 but I'm having issues with everything else. I used the drivers from the install disc that came with the card. According to Device Manager the Card is DMA 1 and IRQ 5. Using these settings in Duke Nukem on Win 98 DOS will play the music but no sound effects. When I set the DMA and IRQ to the correct settings, it causes the machine to lock up. I then read that I needed to install the drivers in dos, so I found those from Phil's Computer Lab and installed those. Using those drivers, the sound card will play music, but it cannot find dma on channel 1. Changing these settings does nothing and I cannot get out of the menu unless I disable DMA. The other odd thing that the legacy audio of the sound card would crash when booting dos, however that seems to have cleared up now that I have installed the driver.
Any idea where I am going wrong? My first PC was a Packard Bell Legend, so I'm a novice when it comes to DOS stuff. Hoping that I'm overlooking something dumb.
