I've recently come across an advertisement on a local site where someone is advertising a Sound Blaster AWE 32 PnP CT3960.
There doesn't seem to be much information about this particular model, but it appears quite similar to the CT3980 and also has the CT-1747 chip.
The right hand side of the card (closest to the bracket) appears to have a slightly different layout (more capacitors).

Anyone have any experience with this card? How does it compare to the CT3980?

I have a CT3980, looks very much the same exctept for the extra regulator + caps in the top right corner. maybe its just an earlier revision of 3980?

That's possible.

I have a CT3980 as well and when I saw this model, it made me a bit curious as to where this one fits in. It is not mentioned in the Nerdy Pleasures blog (http://nerdlypleasures.blogspot.co.za/2012/07 … ptions.html?m=1).

By the look of it, it spent many winters in the rain and summers in the dust.
Refrain for acquiring this questionable piece of hardware, probably pulled from a junk yard.

EDIT:
CT3960 = 019517
CT3980 = 019527

01 = Revision.
95 = Year
17 = Week.
