So! I received my NEC XR385 (Yamaha DX60XG clone) Wavetable card from our Chinese friend "Doublefish1981" yesterday, came wrapped in a lovely piece of newspaper and packed in a cheap envelope (so I hope it works).
Now, I want to use this card in my 486 to add the functionality to that system. My AWE32 CT3910 does not have a Waveblaster header and I would like to keep the AWE32 in the system now that it's working good, so I'm hoping to install a dummy Sound Card in the system for the only purpose of running the XR385.
Now, I have a couple open ISA slots and bunch of spare Sound Cards at my disposal to try running the Waveblaster from, though I was hoping not to need to use any PnP drivers at bootup, which leaves me with the following:
CT1740 Sound Blaster 16

CT2230 Sound Blaster 16.
http://stason.org/TULARC/pc/sound-cards-multi … R-16-MCD-A.html
Which of these two would be the better choice? Would there be any conflicts in using any of these for this purpose alongside an AWE32? I would imagine I would have to change the IRQ/DMA settings on the SB16 to avoid any resource conflicts... I also have other various PnP cards that may work as well... Any suggestions?
