Windows 95c in VMware Workstation 9 with Sound

Greetings;

 

For the past week I have been experimenting with the ancient operating systems (dos, windows 1 through 2000 Pro).  One of my accomplishments was making sound work in Windows 95c running in Workstation 9 hardware mode (see below).

 

However, I do still have two unknown devices showing in device manager.  Unknown Devices Beta 1.4.20 gives the following information about them:

Has anyone had any luck in finding Windows 95 compatible drivers for these two devices?


As for making sound work in Windows 95c while still at Workstation 9, I used the following steps:

  1. Create a new VM of type "Other" and version "MS-DOS"
  2. FDISK and format /s the hard drive
  3. Copy your DOS/Windows 3.x soundblaster 16 install package to the newly formatted hard drive and install it (I used the default c:\sb16 location)
  4. This generated the following AUTOEXEC.BAT lines for me:
    1. SET SOUND=C:\SB16

    2. SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6

    3. SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E

    4. C:\SB16\DIAGNOSE /S

    5. C:\SB16\MIXERSET /P /Q

  5. Change your VM to type "Windows" version "Windows 95"

  6. Install Windows 95 normally and you should have sound.
  7. Continue on with installing vmware tools and the rest of your Windows 95 configuration.
