    The RAP-10 doesn't have a Windows 95 driver. You can still use the
Windows 3.x driver, but it won't be listed on the Device Manager.

    If you are talking about digitized audio in DOS games, then you can
forget about it. The RAP-10 is NOT a game (read SB-compatible) card,
and I have never heard of a DOS game that would have native support for
the RAP-10. But you should be able to use it for General MIDI sounds,
since it's fully MPU compatible in UART mode.
