Does anyone have a list / picture of the full contents for the original AWE64 Gold (CT4390). I bought a couple of these new in late 96 or early 97 and their contents have become rather scattered in storage & use. As I'm planning to donate one to one of my young cousins who's showing some interest in the vintage side of things, I'd like it to be as complete as possible.

Sadly I no longer have the cardboard boxes to refer to, and the full-face embossed Creative decal mirror which was stuck to the front only mentions CUBASIS audio as a free inclusion. I know there was a manual and drivers CD and there were cables (RCA) and a mic but I'm not sure about other cables, adapters or software & docs. TIA for any help.

Take a look here, one of the box pictures lists the contents:

Nothing too exciting really, just a cheap "hands-free mic" and the SPDIF cable. Strangely, I bought a boxed AWE64 gold with the 8MB memory expansion from someone (maybe on here?) recently, mine lists these parts:

  • Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold card
  • Creative Configuration Manager
  • Creative Software Suite for Windows® 95 and Windows 3.1™ / MS-DOS on CD-ROM
  • Hands-free Microphone
  • MIDI Cable
  • Gold RCA Cable
  • Bracket with SPDIF output connector

Make sure your PC meets the requirements, it needs a Pentium 90!

Thx @Thermalwrong for the pics in the link and your own list; this is kind of why I was asking - I suspect there might have been a number of versions of the package with slightly differing contents (certainly never seen another one like mine), and what I have left of my original boxes tells me nothing. Next plan is to have a dig around on archive.org for the old SB & Creative sites.

That requirement is more for the rather useless software WaveSynth driver. AWE64 sans that driver, it'll work fine in a 486.
