So I've been pulling my hair out trying to get FM synth working in DOS for an "AWE64" I bought some years ago. I tried all kinds of different autoexec and config changes, BIOS changes and so on. I finally found this thread; https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=50015 Indeed my card is missing the …

First one I can distinctly remember was a 66mhz 486. I don't remember all the specs but I think it had about a 500MB hard drive. Mostly used with windows 3.1, and I mostly played shareware games on it like Hexxagon and Brix. That same PC was later upgraded to a pentium 166 with a 1.2GB western …

It didn't really work with DOS games very well. I had an AWE32 ISA card in an older computer and I tried that which seemed to work …
