OKay. First off, I hope this is in the right spot...couldn't decide which forum to place this in, so fi I'm wrong, slap me, say I'm stupid and move my post 😉
I recently acquired a Fujitsu Lifebook C2210:
Processor: Mobile Intel® Pentium® 4 2.0 GHz
Hard Drive: 60GB HDD
Memory: 521MB
Optical Drives: DVD-R/RW DVD-Burner drive
Cache: 512KB L2 cache
Screen: 15.0" XGA TFT (Resolution: 1024 x 768 pixels)
Graphics card: ATI Mobility Radeon IGP340M (32MB shared)
Audio card: SigmaTel STAC9767 with wavetable w/ 3D effects
Networking: Wireless LAN Built-in 56K V.90 10/100 Ethernet
Ports/Slots: USB1.0, FireWire/iLink, Ethernet Jack
Mouse/Pointer: Touchpad with Scroll buttons
Keyboard: Full-size 87-key keyboard with 19mm spacing
It came with Windows XP Home installed, and I would really like to have a DOS machine again. My only concern in making this a pure DOS machine is the AC'97 audio. How can I successfully emulate Sound Blaster in say...MS-DOS 6.22? Is it possible? Is there some kind of 'universal' Sound blaster driver I can get? I have the VESA and SVGA issues figured out, but the only thing stopping me now is the sound.
The other option is Windows 98. I believe I heard about a win98 port of VDMSound, which since the drivers are available for this laptop for windows 98, that would be a good solution...even though I'm not getting my DOS box I wanted.
Any advice???
...this could be fun...
