Hi. Thanks for your response, yes I remember that I install the DOS drivers for SB Live. Any form to unistall this drivers or what is the solution? For now, just go into Device Manager and change the IO for the SB Live DOS stuff away from the defaults so the AWE64 get 330 MPU401, and whatever SB …

Your AWE64's MPU401 has IO port 330 in Windows Device Manager, correct? The SB Live has in Windows DOS mode driver you shouldn't install, but did you? Hi. Thanks for your response, yes I remember that I install the DOS drivers for SB Live. Any form to unistall this drivers or what is the solution? …

Hi guys. I'm picking up on the theme of my Classic PC last time I left off that I was going to have 2 sound cards to have the best of both worlds i.e. AWE64 for DOS gaming and Soun Blaster Live for Windows gaming. I installed everything necessary and there is no major problem, but when I ran Doom …

Hello. Don't sell the AWE64, it has much better DOS compatibility than the SBLive! even within Windows 9x. I suggest using both sound cards at once if possible, having the best of both worlds (EAX in Windows games and not having to rely on a mediocre SB16 emulation for DOS games). IIRC, SBLive!'s …

Hi. I have been working on restoring my old HP VE6 and for the audio part I had considered an AWE64 with the Simmcon RAM adapter and 32MB of ram. But also add an MP32L just out of curiosity. And I found that I wouldn't really use the AWE64 and so I thought I'd sell it to get some money back and in …

Hi. I restore a old HP VE6 with Pentium II to 450 mhz and 512 MB of RAM recently buy a MP32L from Serdashop but I need the game port for the MIDI and a Microsoft Sidewinder Joystick at the same time, the only alternative in a good cost is the Aliexpress cables but I read bad experience with this …

You can get around the BIOS HDD size limit by using a PCI IDE adapter (ATA 66/100). The fastest CPU your board supports is Mendocino Celeron at 550Mhz (366 overclocked to 100Mhz bus). That should be faster than PII 450 which is rare and expensive. You would need a couple of Mendocinos and slotket …

Apparently it already supports Pentium III Katmai CPUs, hmm what version of the BIOS do you have ? Yes, I read the same info. The BIOS version is HT.1.0.8. Think this might be a limitation of the HP OEM bios - can't see any mention of cpu microcode support for anything beyond Deschutes (Pentium II) …

The motherboard may need a bios update to correctly support the Pentium III, do you have the model of the motherboard, its possible someone here might have the newest BIOS or know where you can get it from. The fact it booted when you put it into the board is a good sign that it'll work with the …
