Those depend on your hardware. Unless you have a true non-plug-n-play SoundBlaster compatible soundcard, you WILL need either a BIOS with the option to support "Non PnP Operating Systems" turned on or some DOS PnP software (check the mailing list archives for Intel ICU). It is also very likely that you need some kind of INITIALIZER. For example for ISA SB AWE32 PnP soundcards, you would use "diagnose /s" (the tool ships with the card). For PCI soundcards, you will often need some other special drivers, which will likely have to be loaded as device drivers or as TSR. Some onboard PCI sound chips also need some special BIOS setup options turned on to enable the chip and/or the SB mode of the chip. > is there a tool like lspci for an old 486-dos pc ? Yes, if your PC has a PCI BIOS and a PCI bus, you can use PCISLEEP L to get a list of devices. Guess who wrote it ;-). I noticed that your computer (ancient laptop?) is hardly mentioned on www any more at all, so I could not find out what type of onboard sound you have. I hope PCISLEEP will find out. Otherwise you will have to ask ICU or a similar ISA PnP tool, because then you will have non-PCI sound. Eric PS: About FreeBASIC, it is no problem that FreeBASIC only works on 386+ computers. It is no problem either that it is more strict about some things than QBASIC. The REAL question is whether QBASIC programs run with FreeBASIC with minimal modifications. Because basically BWBASIC is missing so many QBASIC "library" functions (graphics, sound, conio...) that many progs do not run in it at all. - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Requires 386sx and up, so it wont make "nomal" dos programms wich should work even on a 8086/88, just 32-bit.

[Freedos-user] [OT]Packard Bell Spectria Packmate
Hi After long time i placed my old 486-66 back to live. its a Packard Bell Spectria Packmate with sound onboard. the motherboard is a *pb450mp.* if i remeber right i have to set a evn.var Blaster to be able to use sound for games. i used all combinations based on http://rinkworks.com/apogee/s/6.4.2.shtml that seems to make sense, and i tried a lot more.. but didnt worked. is there anybody who might know the right settings ? is there a tool like lspci for an old 486-dos pc ? greetings and thanks tassilo - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
