The Sound Blaster card installed in your DOS-compatible Macintosh is not
able to record sounds.
The DOS-compatible Macintosh does not fully support Sound Blaster 8-bit,
Sound Blaster 2.0, or Sound Blaster Pro drivers. If problems occur, use the
Sound Blaster 16 driver that comes with your computer.
Configuring drives C and D
You use the C: and D: pop-up menus to create or select PC drives. Drive C is
required; drive D is optional. You can use a DOS-format SCSIhard drive
attached to your Macintosh, or you can create a storage area called a drive
container—a “virtual PC drive”—on any Macintosh hard drive. You can even
use a drive container created by SoftPC or SoftWindows.™
To use a DOS-format SCSI drive as a startup (boot) drive, format the drive to
be bootable by using the FORMAT C: /S command.

To create a drive container for drive C or D, choose New Drive File from the
C: or D: pop-up menu.
Set a location for the drive container, and give it a name and a size. Then
click Initialize Drive File.
When using a DOS-format SCSI device as the PC’s C or D drive, ensure that
the driver for that device is not loaded by Macintosh PC Exchange. This
would cause Macintosh PC Exchange to mount the drive instead of the PC
environment. Open the PC Exchange control panel and click the Options
button. Make sure the SCSI driver for the device you want to use is not
checked. Then click OK. This ensures that the PC will be able to load the
C drive.
Single versus multiple partitions: When you initialize a container this way, it
contains a single partition. To initialize a container with multiple partitions,
prepare it in DOS using the FDISKcommand instead of initializing it
through the PC Setup control panel. Then format it using the FORMAT
command. Use the /S parameter in the FORMAT command to make the
container bootable (for example, type FORMAT C: /S at the DOS prompt).
See the DOS manual for further instructions on using these commands.
