Good job, it's arguably one of the best AWE32 model. It is not Plug and Play, so it's normal you don't see it in the PnP devices when booting, or that it is not automatically detected by Win98.

Being non-PnP, it is actually configured by jumpers. You will find an explanation for them there.

In Win98, you will have to manually add the card via add new hardware. It hopefully should come up during the second phase (non-PnP device detection) of the wizard, if there's no conflict.

Hopefully this gets you started - good luck 😀

IRQ, DMA and HDMA are software configurable, I suggest leaving them to the default values for now which are 5, 1 and 5 respectively.

In DOS it must be initialized with DIAGNOSE /S after the BLASTER environment variable is set.

All right so i shoot some pictures, i don't get how modify the jumpers......it's a mess to me

Also i can't calculate how much RAM the card have onboard

Search for program UNISOUND here on Vogons and run it. It will configure the card to use in games. It will also show how much memory it has - 2, 8, 28MB is possible via 2x SIMMs.

I think those are 1MB SIMMs, so 2MB in total. Based on datasheet here: download/file.php?id=152414&mode=view saying the chips are 1M address * 4bit, so 0.5MB on each chip.

Thanks a lot, i got this
