I have had no problems running Links 386 under OS/2, even with the SoundBlaster.
However, because it is such a processor hog, I usually run it from a DOS dual boot
to get the quickest screen updates. Remember to set the EMS and XMS settings to
max so that it can grab as much available memory as it can. The manual recommends
a minimum of 6 Meg, and after OS/2 has taken it's share I don't think there is that
much left (out of 8 Meg).
Awesome game, by the way.
