I will get back to that GF2 when I'm feeling a bit more brave. But first I want to spend some time "testing" games on this PC. I have 34 games - ranging from years 1989 to 1996. Out of which, 24 worked out of the box with absolutely no problems. The games with issues are below: Stunts - 4D Driving …

So is the G41 chipset runs DOS with PCI soiudncard? Are you using freedos ? Yes it can, and I've tested many mobos with G41, but I've not tried FreeDOS. No reason that it won't work though. For the games I tried, mostly are on DOS7 (the one from Win98), sometimes DOS6.22. The Intel chipsets after …

Nice build! I would suggest changing the CF for sd/ide. Cf cards are slowers and wears fast. CF cards are more suited for DOS .

JazeFox; I wanted to thank you for sharing your tool with the community, it's so useful. It works with all my ISA PnP cards. I can quickly initialize my AWE64 CT4520 and even my SB32 CT3930 and SB16s CT2230 and CT2290, so that's really nice. I have this Aztech AT-3500 that still doesn't work. …

1- Is possible the software uninstall the soundcard? 2- Does the software have a limit to detect sound cards? 3- The Reverb/Chorus configuration of AWE/SB32 cards are present? Also the Mt32 mode. 4- UNISOUND works on FreeDOS too?
