Hardware uninstallation in DOS

[EvilManagedCare]

So I have this DOS box lying around and I want to switch out the sound card. In windows, of course, I would simply uninstall the drivers and yank the piece out. However, I'm using DOS 6.22 and no version of Windows at all. I've done a google search and the pages I found seemed fixated on using DOS mode through Windows.

My thought was to delete the files pertaining to the sound card as well as the PnP utility for DOS machines, then remove the card. Reboot clean, then shut down and put in a new card. Does DOS store the hardware settings somewhere such that I need to go deleting things in there too?

Is there a good place to find legacy parts besides eBay?

Finally, as I could not find the answer on Creative's site, nor in Wikipedia, does the Sound Blaster Pro come in ISA, or was it PCI only? I seek that particular card because it seemed to never have compatability problems when I used to game in DOS on an older machine I had.

Yes, I know I could simply use DOSBox, but for reasons of my own I would prefer to keep gaming with this particular machine.

Thanks in advance.

SB Pro was ISA first, I'm not sure there was a PCI version.

Drivers in DOS are loaded only by these 2 files:
c:\ CONFIG.SYS
c:\ AUTOEXEC.BAT

Both are text files you can EDIT or TYPE.

If a driver is not loaded by those files then it does not exist as far as DOS is concerned. i.e. once you remove the lines in either/both files for a driver and reboot, you're done.
