Which are the models of Sound Blaster Live! which have SB 16 support for DOS games?

All of them? They're all mutually derived from the same ensoniq sbe TSR made for AudioPCIs and have the same achilles heels (besides the later live drivers' attempt at FM emulation rather than ECW approximation), and the DOS support rots when you go WDM or Windows ME (which cleans out TSRs and won't let you boot to DOS anyway).

Later models' driver disks did not include the Sound Blaster emulation.
However, when it comes to Sound Blaster 16 (or earlier) support, rather try and build a system with an ISA slot and install an ISA sound card.
