- on your mobo bios: set PNP OS = NO

- on your ISA CARD: disable the IDE ctrlr if it has one, or disable one of the ide ctrlr of the mobo.

- since you got it working in windows, look into its resources and use those settings for esscfg.exe.

- since newer vidcards use irq 5, force it to use irq 9 or 11. 10 is usually used by pci soundcards that emulate sb at irq 5. remove all cards except the vidcard and the sndcard until you get the sound working.

here are some 3rd party SB tools for dos:
