I can't find what I need, I don't think. I opened the computer up - the ESS is definitely an onboard job, and I don't have ISA slots. I have 2 PCI slots however, so I'm thinking of finding a PCI sound blaster card. Would something like one of the old SBLive5.1 cards work like the SB cards in the DOS days?
 I'm thinking a card like this one (trying to avoid eBay if possible, I don't have a credit card, nor a paypal account)? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Creative-Sou...104670&sr=8-43

you might have a hard time going with this anyway, although you can set the DOS stuff for the sound card, this was wall before the day of the PNP BIOS, and will cause you no end of grief

Are you able to disable the on-board sound card in the BIOS?
If not, don't bother buying a PCI one unless you want to mess about with IRQ addresses, etc.

). I also disabled the printer port to free up IRQ7 so the PCI card can use that one, in the worst case scenario. I'll get an SBLive 5.1 ordered, I found on the internet there are DOS initialisation drivers for it.
