I’ve just acquired an AWE64 value, model CT4500

Some of you may know the Bits und Bolts YouTube channel has been doing several versions of a memory module upgrade for AWE64 cards

Does anyone know someone (based in the UK) that might want to build a few of these? Perhaps someone with a YouTube channel? It looks like you have to order 5 of them as a minimum on PCBWay

I’m aware of the simmconn as an alternative. Has anyone had any experience with those?

Thanks

I can at least attest that the simmcon works perfectly, and you can pick those up from serdashop for example.
Just be aware, loading sound banks to an ISA card is not a fast thing, and if you configure a 28mb one, be ready to enjoy some long boot times in windows.
