Guest rpgs rock dvds Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 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? I'd really like to thank everyone on this newsgroup forum who took the time to help me out with this problem, I'm so grateful for all the really excellent advice I received. Thank you, Best regards from Robert. PS: Gary, I'd still love those CDs please! :o)
Guest MEB Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Re: Successful AWE64 ISA PnP installation! Well, we are certainly glad to hear that. Check those cleaning techniques if intending to use that card in the future, also look at that older driver offered on Creative [you now have the link]. -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com -- _________ "rpgs rock dvds" <rpgsrockdvds@hotmail.co.uk> wrote in message news:038d45b6-3a1f-4b6c-8de5-3578c8bc1b8e@n14g2000pri.googlegroups.com... | 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.

(I'm building two Win98 boxes, so I'm looking for one more ISA-based sound card -- I have a nice non-PnP SB16, so I was looking for something a bit different to a SB...)

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.

In my other Win98 box I'm building from scratch, I have a QDI Advance 9 mobo, and one of the ISA slots looks very dusty. Hehehe, this new hobby is very time consuming! Best regards, Robert.
