Ok, folks, here's the world's most simple fix for Syndicate:
Set your BLASTER environment variable to:

BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T1

Actually, the only thing that needs to be set as it is above is A220.  It 
MUST be set to port 220h in order for Syndicate to recognize the GUS.

Then just copy synd.bat (Included) into your directory, modify the /iirq and
/idma statements to reflect your system, and then run synd.bat.

One Side note that I have discovered:
the /c0 switch controls what langauge Syndicate operates in.
/c1 is French I believe,
and /c2 is Spanish.
