Those Aztech cards are actually quite common, and they're pretty decent (as modems too, for what it's worth). This is weird though. Sierra chips usually mean the Aria chipset, but the chip numbers don't match up, at least not with my Prometheus. If it is though, it's one hell of a Win9x card, but severely handicapped under DOS (full wavetable, but no MPU-401 compatibility to use it...).

drivers are weird tho, the install works on windows 3.1 only, it installs some utilities for windows, i
had to test it on win3.1 dosbox because i got no real win3.1 machine setup. but install hanged because it can't to an autoexec backup.

when checking what it installed. it made 2 folders . one .temp folder with some DOS install too.

i wonder why they did it like that. Dos was still heavily used in that era. well i guess i will have to get a real win3.1 machine to test it.

So the install discs setup can only be runned on windows 3.1

After you run it it creates some applications for windows 3.1 on folder c:/shark/
And another install tool that is for DOS on folder c:/shark.tmp/

and they edit the autoexec.bat file so on next reboot it runs c:/shark.tmp/install.exe , which is the DOS installer.

they also included some nice things like

"TO FIX PROBLEMS WHILE PLAYING DOOM2 WITH WAVETABLE UPGRADE CARDS
