If you happen to know where to find the latest drivers for this card, please help.
Maybe I need DOS drivers only (if Win98 has native support for the card but I have doubts about that... I have not checked it yet, though)

For DOS a Set blaster line should work well enough, some OEM ESS drivers forget about doing the SET BLASTER part of the autoexec.bat

thanks leileilol,

so it will work as a SB pro clone, good to know! 😀

But I suppose it has proprietary drivers as well - I have seen ESS drivers for sale 🤐 like DOS, WIN95, DMA emulation driver (????) for ESS 1868 and other models so I suppose these older 1688F cards also have these...?

I would rather not pay for it if possible.

gerwin,

I will check those out, thanks for you too!

if the links are dead, you can at least get the original filenames from that page then use google.

"ESS_DOS_config.zip"
"1688_v1087.zip"

THX tikbalang,

I have found the drivers you described on various ftp sites... and they work well, too.
