Bought a CT3600 Soundblaster AWE32 (Real AWE32 or not to be debated?) along with pretty much an entire Pentium 3 system of a scrapper today anyways its missing the SIMMs that should be on it.
Via some research ive come up with the following info about the cards RAM
It needs 2 1, 4, 8, or 16MB 30 pin SIMM's to function. Nothing fancy. Just 16MB or Less Generic SIMM's.
Could someone who knows more than me verify this?
Also if anyone happens to know is this a real AWE32 (aka the cards with the superior reverb in some games) or is it a modified Vibra16? Ive read conflicting accounts.
First of all, SIMMs not exactly "should be on it". They were optional upgrade items, so, the cards as far as I know, sold with unpopulated SIMM slots (yes, it will work as it is, without SIMMs on it) .
You are correct that you need generic 30 pin SIMMs, in sets of 2 ("identical" is preferred, "same size" is a must).
I can suggest OWC, they still have new 30 pin SIMMs (16MB only) https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/30PS16MB/ but of course you can snatch anything from ebay, too. Just a reminder, I'm pretty sure 8MB 30pin SIMM is something never exists. Your choices are 1, 4 or 16 MB modules.
