- This post reminds me of a particular crash I've been having recently.
- I've been running Origin's Martian Dreams game, which would
- occasionally die, and sometimes take OS/2 with it. It just occurred
- to me that this could be due to the presence of the SBOS2 driver (the
- only non-IBM one in my system right now). Since Martian Dreams uses
- the SB for sound (but only the synth channels as far as I know), this
- could be the cause of the problem. Does this make sense?
