Argh, Creative, why do you make so many damn versions of what's supposed to be the same card...
So I just won an AWE32 on eBay that the seller claims is a CT2760. It certainly has the ASP/CSP I was looking for (want to try out TFX with it), but it's only now that I realize that the CT2760 can be two significantly different AWE32 revisions:

The one I bought looks more like the one on top, and certainly says "CT2760". But when you compare it with the other card also labeled "CT2760", you notice the lack of a genuine Yamaha OPL3 along with the very different board layout...so close, yet so far.
But even the different CT2760 layout doesn't always mean a non-OPL3, at this image shows:

There have been threads on different AWE32s here and there on this forum, but the information's a bit...scattered. I want to consolidate all of that into this thread, with everyone's help. In the end, it should be made clear exactly which cards prospective buyers might want.
Also, I'd like a bit more information on what specific driver version and configuration it took to get QSound working in Windows with all sound sources on ASP/CSP-equipped cards. I recall something about having to leave a control panel open all the time, but I might be able to live with that, so long as I can get it working. Details are in this thread.
