Setting up your current machines to run these games is just about possible, but not fun.

Better to use the DosBox emulator to run them:
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1

Although descent into undermountain isnt listed in the databse, so no garauntees on it working.

EDIT]

Or not. WTF is interplay doing putting out a MSDOS game in 1997 that only supports SB family cards? I've seen botched development before, but this is criminal. It dosent help that Interplay's site denys all knowledge of it.

The program VDMSound can probably get round the soundcard problems, but that runs in windows.

DosBox lists descent itself as playable, so theoreticaly a competent conversion of that engine should also be playable. But this dosent look competent.
