Hello there,
I have a 286 Philips P2120 computer... Very nice system... Inside is almost brand new... inside theres a 286 12mhz cpu, 64kb "ambar" graphic card, witch i add a Wd900c00 vga. Has onboard ide controller witch is nice... very slim and sexy looking case..
love it, but... I want to add a sound carde.. now, the problem is...
1) have tried a als120, and when trying to install the drivers it gives me opcode errors!!
2) tried to install a opti931, and in DOS i think is partially working, but in win3.1 says no drivers, because the software needs at least a 386 computer.
- I think, PNP cards don't work in a 286 computer...
So, i search the web and found there,s a altered drivers for a SB16 vibra, so mi next step is to try this sound card.. but,in clonclusion..
what i want to ask is, what's the best approach for installing a sound card in a 286 computer ? assuming i dont have a non pnp card, or a "old" sound card...
Is possibel to make it work both on win 3.1 and DOS ?
thank you
