Re: ISA AWE64 not detected
Hrm, I used to have one of those and got it working using pretty much
the method you described. (I know that doesn't help much, but may be of
some psychological value..) Maybe if you look in /proc there is
something to do with the isa bus (find /proc -name \*isa\* -print)
which can tell you if the card is detected by the kernel? For pci
cards I usually do `cat /proc/pci`. I don't know if isa behaves
similarly, but it might. Below is something I found on my box called
/etc/isapnp.conf.sbawe64, which presumably is the configuration I used
when I had that card. Note that, if you're interested in doing any
kind of full-duplex work (i.e. multitrack sound recording), you really
should upgrade to a PCI card with proper 16-bit full-duplex
capability. The SoundBlaster PCI128 works fine for me.
