I have Warcraft I where I'd like to be able to play the sound. The game itself does not support my sound card. Surely, dos games aren't limited to the sound cards they were written for. Couldn't someone write a driver for my sound card that emulates a sound blaster? I like running freedos natively because dosbox on top of X does not fill the screen and there is no way to expand the window. It is frustrating that my computer has a built in sound card that doesn't work under freedos. Adding another sound card would be really messy. At least I have a beta driver for the onboard nic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.
