for those out there using AWE32s and either have an sblive or have a
friend with an sblive there are (read:should be) 2 files installed
along with the sblive driver;
ct2mgm.sf2 and ct4mgm.sf2 (2 mb and 4 mb in size)
give one of em a sfxload (whichever fits... if you have the ram it
will load...) and compare it to the default AWE soundfont....

I think the PCI sblive would not play midi files with OSS sound system, only ALSA, which I have no idea how to use. I gave up on them and put in AWE64 (which you can't add RAM to and may come with only 1MB, I forget).

But it is getting harder to find newer computers with enough ISA slots for the AWE cards.

amazing how much has changed in 12 years eh? (the AWE and live sound
the same to me... the live just likes to eat the PCI bus and system
ram since it doesnt have its own onboard ram/rom.... pitty... the card
had much more potential...)

What potential? Only advantage I could find it is did not use up an ISA slot, which I need for modems, MGA cards, older scsi cards, PCMCIA controller cards, I/O cards for computers with dead onboard IDE-floppy-serial-parallel controllers.... I have some computers with only two ISA slots.
