While looking for other content, Channel Dad Bryon Lape came across a video by PhilsComputerLab covering a new piece of software that tends to be a universal EISA (and perhaps ISA) Plug and Play Sound Card driver for MS-DOS.

Are you in to retro-computing? Watch endless Lazy Game Reviews (LGR) and 8-bit Guy videos with all their old machines and want to do that yourself? Often, getting the hardware is the easy part, but getting the proper drivers can lead to days of frustration. From hard to find drivers or sites that make you pay to sites that have drivers full of viruses, it is all madness. The utility is called UNISOUND and currently covers chipsets from Creative, Aztech, Opti, ESS, Yamaha, Crystal, and Gravis. Help the developer if your card is not supported.

Retro gaming is becoming quite popular and working hardware can get expensive. Imagine paying quite a bit of money for a Packard Bell or an IBM 5150. Then installing MS-DOS or Windows ME. Channel Dad Bryon Lape lived through that the first time. Should he do it again?
