@JesseF8693 Well I have a windows 98 VM with Supernova in it, which is newer than Hal 95. It should talk on bootup.

@JesseF8693 Well I'd say try VMWare player 17, but there's some nasty issue with the sound at the moment, not sure why. I have older VMWare 12 and 15 and it's much better.

@JesseF8693 FWIW, VMWare Player 17 sounds great on my machine. I don't know why.

@BorrisInABox @JesseF8693 Myself and @arfy have bad luck. Maybe it's your shiny AMD processor that makes it all nice.

@BorrisInABox @JesseF8693 Things that use the old sound driver fail. AC97. If it's HD Audio it's fine. Windows 10 is fine, for example. Windows 98, ME and XP are using AC97, at least my VM's are, and they break, hard.

@BorrisInABox @JesseF8693 Well must be an AMD thing then. Can't think what else it is.
