Hi everyone

I have been wanting to get into DOS gaming (as I was really just a bit too young for DOS gaming) and the most cost effective way of doing so it would seem is to just use my W98SE PC! I am using a Soundblaster Live! SB0100. What is the best driver for dos compatibility from within Windows? Or will I get better compatibility if I boot to DOS properly?

I can't speak for compatibility with SB0100 cards, but the Liveware! 3.0 drivers are spot on for my original CT4670 card. They're so cheap to get now that you might as well just pick up the older card too, if the 0100 isn't compatible.
