DOS is only 16-bits.  So what is the problem?

The question is why do you think DOS 7.1 is 32-bits?

DOS 7.1 which came with Windows 95B/95C/98/SE are all 16-bit DOS.  I'm
currently running 7.1 myself.  It's not 32-bits when booted into instead of
Windows.  It's not 32-bits when run as a Windows console or "DOS-box".  The
usual way to get 32-bit support is by some form of 32-bit extension such as
VCPI, DPMI, custom coding, etc.   DPMI hosts include a Windows console or
"DOS-box", DJGPP DPMI application, OpenWatcom DPMI application, etc.

I see cards similar to yours, but not yours specifically:

There are no complete 32-bit DOS-es that I'm aware of.  Freedos-32 is close,
but incomplete.

I'm not familiar with SNAP Graphics.  It's very possible that the SNAP
Graphics may have 32-bit graphic routines or 32-bit DPMI/VCPI support for
16-bit DOS.

I don't know.  There are a few versions of SNAP.  Since, you want DOS, I'm
assuming, since you didn't state so, that you've downloaded the SNAP
Graphics IES version?  Well, I'll poke around into the versions and see what
I can find...
