Okay then. So there was no sound problem, you just used a DOSBOX
driver outside DOSBOX? If it is supposed to work with SB16 on real
hardware, supporting MS EMM386 style I/O traps would still be one
feature that I would like to see from Japheth in JEMMEX/JEMM386 :-)

But you ask "please focus on CD drive not found". Then I ask: Please
tell me, do you have the CD in the drive? Can you access the files
on the CD? In other words, is only your game complaining, because it
does some copy protection check which has compatibility issues? Or
are you completely unable to access any files on the CD? Those are
two different problems which have two different solutions. Please
specify which versions of which drivers with which options you use.

You also have not answered those questions: Out of which memory did
the installer run? Why have you used a Windows boot floppy instead
of the real FreeDOS installer boot floppy? As you have circumvented
the problem, you are free to ignore that question if you have no
time to tell me whether the installer would still fail if you use
it properly, but I am curious.

I assume AWEUTIL /EM and Intel ICU for ISA PnP is what you have now
used to solve the MIDI sound problem, but it would be nice to know.

Also, CTCM, CTSB16 and CTMMSYS are probably not perfect for AWE32:

But as long as it works for you, it is better to have a working than
to have an overly elegant solution.

As you do NOT want too complicated answers, you should wait with
MSCLIENT and SAMBA attempts until you have the easy things fixed!
This means you should not load IFSHLP at the moment, I think.

I also assume that the mouse works fine with CTMOUSE and that
your compact flash drive works great now?

As nothing is known about the Terminator 2029 problem, you have
several remaining problems, but ALL relate to the same issue:

Games which are not able to access the game CD.

To solve that problem, you could start by answering my question
whether or not you can access files on the CD outside the game.

For example, if the CD drive has letter D: then does DIR D: work
fine and show you a directory listing of the CD contents? Or is
there some error message? Which? Do you get error messages earlier
while booting, from UDVD2 or from SHSUCDX? What do those messages
say? You could also make screenshots if you prefer. You can press
F8 when DOS starts to boot: Then it will ask you for confirmation
for each line, which makes it easy to read or screenshot messages.

According to http://dos32a.narechk.net/manual/html/user/8.htm
this is the fault of Mass Destruction itself, when it exits
without cleaning up vectors. Which leaves only the CD problem.

PS: This should be 123?DOS=HIGH and 23?DEVICE=...HIMEM... My
earlier comments about I=TEST, I=B000-B7FF NOVME and NOINVLPG
still apply. If games need EMS 3.2, you must also remove NOEMS
and you should not load IFSHLP until you have solved the rest.
