I've had one of these things for awhile, and had power YMF on it. Mine pops on startup and whines on shutdown. I did like it becasue it could play The Incredible machine in Sound Blaster Mode on my PIII 1.4 Tualtine with 1GB memory, a feat many of my ISA cards can't manage. The really neat thing …

Nope. I have a gold 64 (RCA outs) and an SB32 with 8MB simms. You're all probably right about it being old and broken, though I can't help but find it suspect that two function peices of hardware stop functioning in similar manners at the same time. Not to mention the rest of the cards function …

I found that menu, but I see no mention of any type of ram in the devices menu. Having since swapped around some cards from this machine, it now says the Gold has no ram. The SB32, also has no RAM (despite 8MB being on the board) EDIT: It's showing 512K again. And I can continually install the ' …

System A had 1GB of memory, and awe CP used to display 4MB, system B has 128. System Ram is irrelevent, as the RAM is on the cards on all the old ISA products.

You're right, it is soldered to the board, and I beleive in two 2Mb chips, which is why the %12K number confuses me. The DOS Diagnose just skips right over the ram check. Loading the 4MB Soundfont says I have insufficient memory.

I won an AWE 64 Gold (Plug N Play version) on Ebay several months ago and it seems recently that it's gone from displaying 4MB of Sample Ram to just 512K, or sometimes none at all. I've made several Windows 98 intsalls on several machines, and they generally say 512k. I've downloaded the Awe Control …
