I cancelled the AW320 order and got an ALS120 based card from Fry's.
Downloaded the drivers from the
Realtek web site. They include back level (1994) copies of TIMER0.SYS,
CLOCK01.SYS, & CLOCK02.SYS, so I
backed up the originals, intending to restore them later. I tried the
installation procedure: System Setup,
Install/Remove, Multimedia Application Install. I pointed that to the
directory where I had unzipped the
files, selected the ALS driver (v 1.16.0), clicked on Install. Nothing.
The installation program hung. I
could kill it via the window list, but I'm left with no sound card
support.

It seemed to copy the .DLL files into C:\MMOS2\DLL, and I THINK copied
ALSNDB.SYS to C:\MMOS2, but did NOT
put an entry for ALSNDB.SYS into CONFIG.SYS. I tried adding that
manually, but no deal. When I boot the
system, I believe it hangs at that point. I can't really tell, because
the text mode portion of the boot
process is not visible on my monitor (Nokia 447Xi Plus).

Any ideas on where to begin?

The card works just fine under W'NT. ;-(>
