Well it was a tiny bit easier back in the day.

Because the card came with a quick guide and all you needed to do was insert the first floppy and run SETUP or INSTALL.

Well this AWE64 Gold came with an install CD, in order to get the DOS drivers from it you must have Win 3.x installed which in my opinion was very dumb on Creative Labs part to do that.

For DOS only drivers you have to download them from their website.

Ah...

My bad, I only remember when I installed the SB16 back in the day 😀

I might do a Video guide about this, because this topic comes up all the time...

Good idea! 😁

Yes, the only "pure DOS" way to install AWE64 Gold is - downloading ctcmbbs.exe and sbbasic.exe (or s64basic.exe) from the Creative webpage, then installing...
