How about the sound support?  I have a GUS and an original SB and can't
get *either* of them to work...The GUS drivers for win3.1 don't work for
95, and the soundblaster I can't a squeak or anything out of ;)  THe games
actualy seem okay, i ran warcraft and MOM to name just two under 95, but
without any sort of sound it is disappointing (sound, voice, or music, 
that is!)
