So I got a EWS64 S today and I don't have a system for it yet, I never used anything other then Sound blasters and Yamaha cards when it comes to ISA cards.
I herd its a really nice card, but finicky in dos or with SoundBlaster apps.

So what should I expect? How is its SoundBlaster support? Can I load a sound font on to it? what about ram upgrades, anything to know there? I belive it can use upto 64mb of ram, so could I load up a 64mb sound font or something?

I don't know much about this card, either. I heard its SAM9407 chip is supported by some versions of MOD4WIN, though.
And that it was intended as an allround card. If I'm not mistaken, there was a story behind the EWS name also.
Eierlegendes WollSchwein. In German, that's the name of a mythical creature I believe.
