Well, most cards weren't really compatible with SB, it was just their driver that made them compatible. My ESS Card (Solo-1) also has an driver for DOS, this makes it SB compatible, but the card itself isn't. So you can more see SB support in DOS like an 'interface' between dos apps/games and the sound driver, because there hasn't been a good standard and it was impossible to make every app compatible with every card,so they decided to make the apps at least sound blaster compatible and then this became the standard for DOS.A-v-S wrote:Once there were ... back in the old DOS days most cards were sound blaster compatible ... but those days are over ... since the pci sound cards and the introduction of windows 95, ( so not every game or app did have to make their own driver ) the compatibility depends on the drivers ...
What I want to say is that because most cards that are sb compatible under DOS need an own driver, this is not of any use for ReactOS since the DOS drivers can't be used.
