What about the CT2670 ?

It has the EMU8000 and OPL3

Update: Flashed the card with Dell Flash tool C4502_C1.EXE didn't solved the issue. The card can't see anything above 512KB 🙁

I've found an old CT3670 in my attic: no matter wich SIMM modules i put on it, DIAGNOSE always report 524 288 bytes max (i've tried every combination with 1mb, 2mb, 4mb and 8mb modules).
FCCID on the back says SB32PNP45, another sitcker says Sound Blaster 32 Pnp.
Another odd behavior, under win9x, the system doesn't want to load the synthgm.sbk included with the drivers. (in pure DOS aweutil.exe /EM load the synthgm.sbk without issue)
Diagnose (v4.04) works fine under pure DOS 6.22 (synth and wavetable music with "512k" or no ram).
I don't know if the AWEFlsh tools from dell for flashing it to an AWE64 will solve this issue.

The 3670 doesn't. The jumper is labelled on the board but there's no pins.

There are no EDO 30 pin SIMMs.

Wrong. There ARE EDO 30-pin SIMMs and they were used in some samplers. You can still buy them brand new.

Hello,
I have found some 30-pin memory modules online but the seller ads says "Macintosh memory". The memory module SN is KMM581000ANP-8 .

Can someone confirm if I can buy any 30-pin memory module to populate the slots of a SB32 (CT3670)?

Thank you

I think the only "special" thing about mac memory was it has to be non parity.
AWE accepts both parity and non parity so you should be fine.

Only requirement AWE had was 80ns or less, the -8 in your part number would mean its 80ns
