Up until last year (2020) you could still download drivers for SB16, AWE64 and such from Creative's website. However, it seems that they are no longer available now.

For example, this is the AWE64 Gold page. Last year, it was still possible to download DOS and Win95/98 drivers from there. But now, only the "Getting Started" guide is available.

PC#1: Pentium MMX 166 / Soyo SY-5BT / S3 Trio64V+ / Voodoo1 / YMF719 / AWE64 Gold / SC-155
PC#2: AthlonXP 2100+ / ECS K7VTA3 / Voodoo3 / Audigy2 / Vortex2
PC#3: Core 2 Duo E8600 / Foxconn P35AX-S / X800 / Audigy2 ZS
PC#4: i5-3570K / MSI Z77A-G43 / GTX 980Ti / X-Fi Titanium

Just downloaded the NT4 and 9x drivers from there as a test. I guess we could archive them at some point. (Note: they're going to do maintenance on their site next week, however.)

Site update: cwcyrix.duckdns.org -> cwcyrix.nsupdate.info due to the former no longer working.

Ok this is weird. I can't see any drivers when I open that page from Safari on my iPad.

But if I go to the page using Firefox on my Android phone, the drivers do show up.
