Stuck on loading is a bit ambiguous. Do mean boot, in dos, in windows?

The installer would get hung up on the CTCM program and not go any further. Anyways, I stopped trying to use the card and went back to my original card I was going to use and got that working.

So, for the life of me, I can not get any of my Sound Blaster PnP cards to work, CT2890 or CT2980, here are the pictures of the hardware I'm running, it's a 286 running MS-DOS 6.22 and where it gets stuck at.

I'm not quite sure what you mean, Unisound? what is that? and what is it supposed to do?
