Would not be entirely impossible because the sound working under windows should be due to the second chip, not the 4281.<br /><br />I'm quite confident though, if your laptop has a 440ZX, that the difference is that the ZX chipset does support DDMA, while the MX does not.<br /><br />If you can, it would be great it you could copy'n'paste / screenshot what CWRDOS.exe /V says for you (in dos mode).<br /><br />I use version 3.00 which is the newest I could find, I tried an older one (2.80) but it is actually worse (does not install the TSR at all). That said, I don't know if the versions are reliable, or within the same version there were some specific patches applied by IBM.DEADC0DEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01477408942876127202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6950833531562942289.post-72581263986268112592022-04-18T20:15:14.082-07:002022-04-18T20:15:14.082-07:00Sorry to hear your 240x has issues with sound unde...Sorry to hear your 240x has issues with sound under DOS. Maybe you should try your luck with a different model? I haven't tested it extensively but my Thinkpad X20 and X21 use the same CS4281 sound chip and have no issues playing sound effects in Duke Nukem 3D under Windows 98se booted into DOS mode (not the Virtual DOS Machine). They use a more normal 440ZXM chipset and a 4MB Rage Mobility M but are somewhat larger 12" laptops. IIRC, the typical complaint with CS4281 is just that people don't like the FM.<br /><br />https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:X21Liamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01368844172985448552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6950833531562942289.post-31880362495269564902022-04-14T17:14:27.756-07:002022-04-14T17:14:27.756-07:00Ska - si, li ho visti su un HD - non ho provato ad...Ska - si, li ho visti su un HD - non ho provato ad aprirli o a compilarli... pero' esistono<br /><br />R - will do<br /><br />Krull - I am learning a bit more about the sound situation, it might be less dire than I pictured in the article, perhaps my laptop is just a very unlucky combination of things.

Another difference, well, as I didn't start on a C64 but an XT, it means I had fun programming in Turbo Pascal... :)<br /><br />And miss those old times...
