Hi Geri,

I agree as i encountered the same trouble 
and limitations using the PCI-64 after
the SB-16 i used for some years,
as there was nothing else for us.

New programs and bands came up and all 
the goodies like Spectran, FFTDsp and 
SM5BSZ's DSP program would not run at all.

I used PCI-64 for mostly sstv, as it was 
more selective than the SB-16.
Got bored after 20 years of sstv.
I willsave your time and jump ahead...

Started searching for the AWE-64 Gold
wich seems the best and found a AWE-64 Value
now i am not sure what Value means but i can
do everything now, even the older Hellschreiber
programs for dos from G3PPT and RITTY wich
needs 2 different DMA's for PACTor.

Now on LF i watch CW ofcourse and use MRP373
wich runs perfect with the AWE-64V..
The AWE-64 is still available at JDR Microdevices
(www.jdr.com) i am thinking 'bout getting a 2nd :-)

Well long story, less content but maybe usefull.
A good weekend to all.

Hello David (and others),

I have tried several of the new type soundcards such as the "Soundblaster
Life!" but several of those only emulate the 5.5 kHz and the response time
was extremely slow. This may be the casue of the crash you observe. They
only worked properly hardware based on 11 kHz and up. I now went to a
Sondblaster 128 PCI, but I still miss my old and simple Soundblaster AWE 64
(it doesn't work anymore), especially because it also worked in DOS mode
(FFT-DSP), I havnt't had success in getting any of the PCI stuff (with DOS
emulation) work properly in DOS ...
