Hmmm.  I got exactly the same problem, either ZONE66 /S or ZONE66 and it
will crashed on me with the hexadecimal dump.

When I play, I tell it explicity, to use the PC speaker, it works.
The SBPRO option seems to be bugged.  I have a true 100% dinkum SBPRO
and a 100% clean MSDOS 5 system, running on a 386.

The only thing out of the ordinary is I've configured my SBPRO on IRQ5,
not IRQ7 (it stuffs up on IRQ7 - conflict with parallel port, I guess).
