I'm trying to get this DOS game to work in Windows XP. Everything works except for the sound and unfortunately, since it's a game, that's pretty important. Well, Toshiba suggested I check out this site, which suggested these settings:

Question: How do I get sound and music in old DOS games?

Answer: In Windows XP, DOS is emulated, so no matter what sound card you have, you can hear sound if the DOS games were written to use the Sound Blaster 2.0. All you need to do is set your game to use a Sound Blaster 2.0 with a General Midi device and the following configuration:

Digital Sound: Sound Blaster 2.0
* Port: 220
* IRQ: 5
* DMA Channel: 1
Music: General MIDI
* Port: 330

Didn't work... Bah.
