Hi, I've got several ISA Sound Cards including the following:
Sound Blaster 2.0 CT1350B with CMS
Sound Blaster Pro 2 CT1600
Sound Blaster AWE 32 CT3900 with memory upgrade
Sound Blaster AWE 64 Gold CT4390
Sound Blaster 16 CT1740 with DSP, CT1750 with DSP, CT2230, CT2910
Gravis Ultrasound Classic with memory upgrade
Yamaha DB50XG Daughterboard
I'm looking to run 2 ISA sound cards for maximum "Dos" compatibility.
Windows 98 SE will be covered via a PCI Diamond Monster MX300 or a Sound Blaster Live 5.1. Both of which I also own.
Out of the above, what would you guys recommend?
Next, how would I go about setting both sound cards up? I'm a little confused due to the sound blaster drivers loading up 1 sound card in AUTOEXEC. Would I just install both drivers and load both cards up individually through AUTOEXEC? Will this use up too much resources?
The PC Specs are as follows:
Intel SE440BX-2
Pentium II 450Mhz
Kingston PC100 Ram Total: 384mb
Diamond Monster 3D II Voodoo 2 12mb in SLI
Promise TX2 IDE Controller
Western Digital Caviar SE 120GB IDE
Windows 98 SE
Still trying to figure out what AGP graphics card I should use with the Voodoo 2 SLI but I guess that's for another thread...
Oh and I should probably mention that as much as I love the CT3900 AWE 32, it cannot be used because the damn thing is too long for my case 🙁 (CoolerMaster HAF Combat)
