Hi,
Did a search in google for "dos boot disk images"
and found http://www.bootdisk.com/ and
http://www.daniel-hertrich.de/bootdisks/secret.shtml (german disks),
and so on and so on.
Don't do anything illegal!
For any other ICR2 fans, have a search and download VDMSound if you
want to play in XP. Allows full digital sound and even my MS FF Wheel
works fine. Love that Elkhart Lake!!!
Regards all,
istoff

Just make a Win98 startup disk or download one. Boot up with it and
then do a "sys a: c:" to transfer it to the harddrive, then dos is
installed.
You'll probably need sound drivers for dos and edit the autoexec.bat
or config.sys to load up other stuff like mouse drivers.

I'm surprised there's never been a wrapper written to allow rendition
games to be run with opengl or direct3d via emulation...

Yes, provided you get the drivers for the soundcard installed properly
