This is a nice blast (no pun intended) from the past. I put one of these in my first new and fully built PCs back around 1994. I had 30-pin SIMMs left over from my previous 386 that worked well in the add-on slots. That was about the coolest thing on that 486 since I went with a VLB video card and couldn't afford a CD-ROM. I think I ran with the AWE32 through several upgrades until I bought an off-the-shelf HP in 2000.

Sure would be nice if Creative could deliver a driver fix for my soundcard's channel swapping. Thing isn't even a decade old.
SoundBlaster AWE32/64 was the bees knees before the invention of MP3s.
Today nobody uses MIDI, but how else are you going to play music with 8MB of RAM?

I had one of those. It was a great sound card.
