Got it...

I decided to start over and installed System Commander first. win98
went it very smoothly. I'm going to try to get OS/2 in next.

I'm considering the partitioning strategy. Should I install OS/2 in the
primary partition or on a logical drive in the extended partition?
I think I'll try to install in the primary partition. The advantage -
or disadvantage - is that the two OSs won't be able to see each other's
partition.

Windows identified it as a Yamaha OPL3-SAx card. I'll try to shoe-horn
it in.

Thank you for the information, Mike. I'll give it another try.
