ANNOUNCEMENT: Soundblaster AWE HOWTO
Hello!
I worked the last days on a Soundblaster AWE HOWTO, so that the information
gathered on this list (remember the thread about the AWE64?) would not be
lost.
All information (and a little more) you need to install the Soundblaster 32,
SB AWE 32, SB AWE 64 on a Linux system are gathered here.
The reference system is a Debian GNU/Linux system, and with Debian is the
installation especially easy.
