[dba-Tech] I'm Doomed

Ack.  Prefer not to do that to HAL9004 my primary P4 box (It was the 
PII, HAL9000, that died).  HAL9001, the P3 is my music machine - all the 
mp3 stuff, good speakers - & I wonder if I'll get the same sound 
quality. Little reluctant to disrupt that box.. 

HAL 9002, my old primary machine, is a P4 which is now Max's and I 
suppose I could monkey with that.  Except that now that he's in high 
school he's up studying late, just when I want to play. 

I've also got a COMPAQ laptop with crappy little internal speakers.  
Wonder if it'll play on that?

There is a DOS compatibility feature and I tried that already to no avail.

And the reason I think it has to do with the sound is that when I 
configure it to run with the internal speaker it runs fine but there's 
no real sound.  And in that game the sound is very important. 

Maybe I can find an old W98 machine around here for real cheap.

But I keep thinking there's gotta be a way to get it to run on the P3 or P4.
