Recently, I posted a message to this newsgroup, the subject was -

ISA Plug and Play not working (clean install)

I am very pleased to say that I have fixed the problem: I am now able
to insert an AWE64 ISA PnP sound card inside the Win98SE PC, and the
PC correctly identifies it, and everything appears to be working
great.

Summary of fixed problem: I think that the Value AWE64 card that I was
using (before a 2nd AWE64 *gold* card arrived this morning for me to
test) may have been faulty. *Carefully examining one the only
configurable jumper, which allows the user to disable midi
functionality (I think), it looked damaged. *Also, perhaps the "ISA
slot pins" were dirty, I'm not too sure, maybe it also needed
cleaning?

FWIW, I found this:http://members.driverguide.com/drive...driverid=20709

"The BIOS of this device is incorrectly reporting the resources for
this device. Try getting an updated BIOS from your system
manufacturer. Error code (9)."

Model ct4550,ct4520,ct4390

Seehttp://support.us.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&...

"Restores the AWE64 card to operating condition if the EEprom has been
corrupted. New drivers will help guard against future corruption of
the EEprom."

The above utility creates an "AWE64 EEprom Flash utility and Driver"
diskette. The EEPROM contains the card's PnP ID.

Thanks a lot! It looks quite technical - I'll have to study this very
carefully.
I made an offline .Txt file of those URLs you gave me the other day,
and I've already downloaded 9 AWE64 patches that look very useful. I
have *always* wanted to know where a really good SB support website
was, but stupid me, could never find one. (I thought Creative had
stopped downloads for their legacy drivers and patches etc.)

Best regards, Robert.
