At last FULL support for my elderly AWE32. Suse linux 6.1 (newly
acquired and installed for the minuscule sum of 25 UKP) has an OEM
version of the commercial OSS drivers included. For the first time I
have full sound support for my card in linux WITHOUT needing a kernel
recompile and with a simple install shell script (no buggering about
fruitlessly with isapnptools) which worked first time. Contrary to what
must be an outdated readme which said the AWE would be misidentified as
a SB16 the correct card, chips, ports, IRQs etc were found and correctly
initialised. I have just uploaded a 7 Meg SBK sound font GM replacement
into the 8Megs of onboard RAM!
3 Cheers for OSS and SUSE!
Sorry for this boring posting and I know this does not help you Creative
SB PCI pnp owners but OSS say they are working on it and no doubt Suse
will include the drivers when they are mature.

Windows is a set of 32 bit extensions and a graphical shell
for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit OS originally coded for a
4 bit microprocessor, written by a 2 bit company that
can't stand 1 bit of competition. So I INSTALLED LINUX !
