If no one else has a socketed AWE32, I've got a CT2760 I can socket the 8051 on and try the patched code for NMI compatibility.

I have a cute use case for this card - a supercompact system with small (but standard-layout) AT motherboard with no onboard I/O, a riser and two ISA slots on opposite sides. Total height is just 5cm. Can you post a picture of it? Only have this pic (and just left the office for this week): …
