There's a sound card in that machine,  and other software (Warp itself) 
doesn't seem to have any problem finding it,  so what do I need to do here?

Right,  I remembered seeing a thread about that one a while back,  but I went 
looking for a file with that sort of name,  and didn't find one anywhere.  I 
am assuming that we're talking about a DLL or something that the install 
software would have put on my HD?  Like in the winos2 system directory or 
someplace?  In any event,  I went looking for it all over the place,  and it 
didn't turn up.
I also have a vague recollection about how some install software will try and 
set things up to use this but that you can otherwise stick things back the 
way they were and some software will work anyhow.
Any further suggestions on this would be appreciated.  I think what I really 
need to do is to reconnect the other drive that originally ran that machine 
and set it up as a default in boot manager so that the grandkids can have 
things that they're familiar with.  There's just not enough room on that 
drive to install any of these disks,  though.  I should be able to set that 
up as another drive C:,  right?  If not,  I'm gonna run into problems with 
the current D: being bumped to E: when the system sees another primary 
partition on that other drive...
