For goodness sake dont load QEMM with anything.

Dont load the AWEUTIL TSR. Just set up the reverb, chorus, and interupt
junk and go from there. DOS4GW the extended memory driver used by DOOM,
Descent and the like dosnt need Himem, EMM386 and especially QEMM. Format
a floppy with /s and add nothing else. Boot from that floppy and try it.
You dont even need to load dos high. I have the AWE32 and have not had any
problems todate with descent.
