Hi John, > I've got an ISA SB16 on a 486 box I've installed FreeDOS on.
Very old hardware :-) > installed, enough that games can recognize and use the hardware. Very nice. Only true ISA soundcards really please old games. > However, I'm still running into some trouble with it.

ATAPI CDROM should be very similar to any IDE as far as I remember, so I am not sure whether it is truly not possible to run them on your old main IDE controller... Of course soundcard CDROM tended to so somewhat incompatible so I would not expect those to run with any other controller. > leaves me with no CD access. Hard to tell what goes wrong with your SBCD driver. I guess you would just load that - possibly with some options when it has no autodetection of right settings - and then SHSUCDX (the MSCDEX replacement). Maybe there are some issues with other drivers loaded at the same time - try without EMM386.
