The T42 lives! Not to be mistaken with my T420 running XP, this T42 is running Windows 98SE. I finally tracked down the VXD version of the sound driver, so now it works perfectly. It'll be featured more on a future stream.

The sound drivers decided they wanted to unload themselves and I have no idea why. Luckily, I have some cheap USB audio devices that work perfectly with Win98 so I guess I'll just be limited to headphones or external speakers. Not an issue when I'll mostly be splitting the headphones out line to headphones and my capture card. No need for internal speakers at that point 😂

Looks like I'll either have to get the T30 running or look into building a more period accurate Win98 build.
