: : Hi
: : I am still having probs getting my PCI SB 16 card to work in dos. ANyone hlp? I was told theres a SBPCI.zip I need?? also dos 7.0????? any help is great..I am a newbie and I am not sure what to do.
: : JIM

: DOS 7 is WIn98

: if you have win98 and have PCI sb16, install it in win98 then it also installs the DOS DRIVER in a DIR program files\creative\audio\dosdrv
: in here there is the SBINIT the you need to run after you boot to pure dos mode. The default IRQ is set to 7, change it to 5. Also change it in the autoexec.bat file. That should do it.

Also, i don't know if this will help but..... when you install the dos driver, i had to change the irq setting in the file sbpci.ini, otherwise the sbinit.com would change it back to 7 in the autoexec.bat file. hope this helps, i got mine to work, but it still locks up if i have the computer on for more than an hour or so.
