Nice, lots of info.

Tried it on my K6-2, it's a bit of an odd machine, a Intel Advanced/ZP with an Evergreen Spectra K6-2 adapter. Astra crashes with JEMM386 loaded, reboots with EMM386, and hangs with nothing loaded. Disabled CPU MSR with /nMSR and it ran OK. Report is ASTRAK6.zip.

No problems on my 486, except it thinks it's has an AWE32, it's really a SB16. ASTRA486.zip

On a Pentium 200 all seems correct. Astrap200.zip. Also tried it on an Amiga with an A2088 bridgeboard, seems all good! ASTRAA20.zip

on a 430NX system with parity RAM installed and parity enabled in BIOS, ASTRA shows [x] for parity but with "disabled" next to it.

Please send astra.txt report (F2 hot key) for more details.

Windows doesn't like that file 😀

Strange, just checked it with Microsoft Defender Antivirus - no threats.

Beta worked OK on the K6-2

I think it's pretty safe to assume that DSP 3.x + OPL2 = SB Pro 1.

Tested the new version and noticed that the amount of memory size is 0 KB on the AWE64 in the System Summary while it is properly detected in the detailed information.

Tried it and is still displaying 0 KB for the memory size on the AWE64 in System Summary.

During these months, I made some changes to the computer, the most important one being able to use the full HDD capacity. For some reason, since this, ASTRA reports the primary HDD twice.

Doesn't change anything. Sound Blaster Pro 2.0 still being reported as Pro AudioSpectrum.

Thanks!

The new beta version is reporting fine except for a third non-existent DDR2-500 memory module of 32 MB with an unrealistic manufacture date of December 2083, something impossible on a motherboard that only supports SDR memory modules.

Edit: It was caused by a buggy DOS driver, created a new report and everything is now good.

Still no change. I also noticed that HWInfo for DOS (6.2.4) also detects it as a Pro AudioSpectrum until I check either IRQ or DMA screens, then it changes to the correct name when I go back. It would seem that detecting this card is pretty tricky.

Another thing I've been noticing here is that it's always displaying the volume levels at 57% regardless of what I set in sbp-set.exe. I don't know if it's actually somehow resetting their values or doing something else, not that it really matters though.

I just tried the new released version, very nice.
Before exit the program I received the message to share the rpt file because "interesting hardware was found", so here is it.
According to the report the "interesting" device is the integrated audio.

Try to run ASTRA 4.20.
I tried to add a workaround for this case.

Another interesting report according to the software

Thank you for the report.

That worked. Both 7.20 and 4.20 are properly detecting the Sound Blaster Pro 2 now. Pro Audio Spectrum is nowhere to be found.

@a2kkv: How is your progress with RJCrush? Did you get my email about it and would you like to reply?
