Speaking of SOUND.DRV, I have long held the logical assumption that writing a custom sound driver for specific equipment was feasible.  Although I don't have the tools for doing it myself, would any Windows programmer like to tackle the task of writing an Ad-Lib/Sound Blaster-compatible sound driver?  I have this $135 board in my machine, hooked up to a pair of speakers, that is so far useful only for playing Sierra adventure games.  Ad-lib-compatible boards are very popular these days, and I think a lot o

Just looking for another way to combat that ol' Mac Envy....
