Hi Eric, Although the VBE/AI standard was initially envisioned to be provided in the BIOS of sound cards in the same way as how the VBE standard was integrated in the BIOS of graphics cards, it could also be implemented in the form of a loadable DOS driver. There are two kinds of VBE/AI drivers:

Hoi Volkert, cool that you are working on an AC97 VBE/AI sound system! The question is: Do you know any DOS games which support VBE/AI for sound? I think only very few "sound and graphics" cards had that in their BIOS and therefore very few games supported it? Regards, Eric > * https://github.

Hi Bret, cool to hear that you have already started to add the I/O trap API to JEMM! :-) Not sure why JLM also needs it, but I guess it is part of your plans to port VSB together with some USB sound driver to some JEMM JLM? ;-) I think USB serial would be cool, even when you only support access

Just FYI, it is at least theoretically possible to do SB virtualization in DOS using USB devices. It's on my list of things to get around to someday in my scant free time. But, SB virtualization would require I/O virtualization which is currently only available with the aid of MS EMM386 or 386M
