UMBPCI automatically disqualified because SB driver report no EMM386 in memory (I think it look for the NAME = EMMQXXX0). Under latest FreeDOS Kernel 2035a patch from Arkady: MS-HIMEM + MS-EMM = OK FD-HIMEM + MS-EMM = OK FD-HIMEM + FD-EMM = FAIL MS-HIMEM + FD-EMM = Reboot Fail message: ===== Creative SB16 Emulation Driver, Version 4.05 Copyright(c) 1996-2000, Creative Technology Ltd., All Rights Reserved. Creative Audio @ Port e400, IRQ 5 error: Could not allocate code/patch RAM below 4 Mbyte boundary. Try loading SBEINIT.COM before SMARTDRV.EXE or minimizing VDISK RAM. Creative SB16 Emulation Driver NOT loading. ===== >wish I still had that card..and the DOS drivers. I remember asking >Creative about them, as they were not distributed publicly :( If you want to test I can mail you, together with driver. But it's surprisingly easy to download from Internet, maybe it's the pressure from M$ to support Windoze.
