The least they could do is mention:

SOUND IN NTVDM BOXES
VDMSound/SFX2000

Microsoft's pathetic implementation of sound in NTVDM Boxes.

The seem to assume that the sound card in your system matters to the DOS box in XP. It doesn't. The NTVDM Sound card is an SB card at Port 200 IRQ 5 DMA 1. The host sound card doesn't matter. As long as it's there and can be "seen" by the NTVDM box then SB emulation can occur.

EMULATION
Virtual PC.
Vmware
Bochs
DosBox



Do a little research on the games that don't work. www.ntcompatible.com ? wink



The could mention that the DOS games that worked in XP don't work in 2k...or vice versa.


All in all. It's a nice little read but they could have done a little bit more work. wink
