Well, I took another look and this time I found what I needed over at Quest Studios, including the PDF version of the manual. Several years ago when I checked none of this stuff was available.

I came up with another question as well. Would it be better to use the internal or external audio connector for chaining to another card?

If you have not already read the older Quest Studios message thread about the AWE32 and Goldfinch, please check this link. I will have to re-link some of the pictures of the 'internal' Goldfinch cable I constructed, but an internal connector for a Goldfinch CT-1920 to another audio card is covered...

Hope this helps,

You already found these before, didn't you?

I don't think you get a noticable difference between internal or external. Plugging a shielded 4-pin CD-Audio connector on the goldfinch header would probably be the most practical way. But you need to change the pinout of the cable, which can be done suprisingly easy with a needle or something.

Hmmm, perhaps you're right. I must have forgotten and found them again?

I'm pretty pissed off by this Goldfinch card. I've been playing with it for about 8 hours now, and I still get the same bullshit about AWEDIAG complaining about CTCM. I found another user in this forum was having the same problem and was unable to resolve it.

I'm thinking to deposit this card in my round filing cabinet. It's been a huge waste of time, especially considering it's not a very good card anyway.

Maybe death by hammer would make me feel better.

I had a similar issue:

When I start awediag without parameters it runs properly and checks the RAM and plays a midi song. When I start it with the '/s' parameter it says it either cannot find the configuration manager, or it is the wrong version

but came to the conclusion that everything works without doing 'awediag /s', as loading ctcm instead of 'awediag /s' seems to make things work. So would that work for you?

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to do it for me either. I don't care so much about getting it going in DOS, but I would like it working in windows.
