Hey sparky4, there is something you should understand. There was not really any "hardware standards" for the old ISA sound cards either. I still have 3 old computers with ISA slots. 1 has a genuine SoundBlaster 8-bit card, another has a non-PnP SoundBlaster 16 (set up with with jumpers), and a 3rd is called an 1853L (ES1868F chip) which seems to emulate SoundBlaster better than the real SoundBlasters at times. While the SoundBlaster driver in most of the old DOS games will work fine on any of these 3, there are many of the games that will only work with 1 or 2 of these cards, even though they are set-up is for SoundBlaster. There are games that claim to use SoundBlaster, but will not work on either of the real SoundBlaster cards, but work great on the ES1868 (when the card is properly configured, it does require a software set-up). So, try to be happy with what you can get to work with some of these old games, it never "always worked" for anybody.
