I'd interpreted the VSB description as being part of an overall emulator, like a PC emulator. But going back to read the GitHub readme again, I think I misread that. Yes, looks like this really is an attempt to emulate SB card functionality as a TSR. https://github.com/volkertb/temu-vsb says “*SoundBlaster emulator for Covox & PC-speaker*” So now I'm *really* curious about it. I'd love to hear from anyone who's used it. How well does it work for you? Doesn't have to be perfect emulation, but does it do the job? SoundBlaster emulation is one of the top "can FreeDOS do this?" questions that I get. I'd love to be able to recommend something. Jim
