Hi All. Just wanted to say that I've finally got my AWE 64 working, say thanks
to
those who helped me out and document how I got it working.
The first thing was that I had my BIOS set to PnP OS installed (dumb I know,
now I
wonder how it worked on RedHat?) so once I fixed that I could play waves, but no
midis and the mixer didn't work. This is the important part: with isapnptools
1.23
pnpdump only detected the first of the IO ports for the wavetable section so I
had to
add the other 2 (not that uncommon from what I've read), but the hex addresses
can't
have capital letters in them or it doesn't work. I don't know why this is, but
perhaps the maintainer should look into this because I have read alot of
complaints
about this problem. My isapnp.conf wavetable section now looks like:
(CONFIGURE CTL00e4/186086730 (LD 2
# ANSI string -->WaveTable<--
# Multiple choice time, choose one only !
# Start dependent functions: priority preferred
# Logical device decodes 16 bit IO address lines
# Minimum IO base address 0x0620
# Maximum IO base address 0x0620
# IO base alignment 1 bytes
# Number of IO addresses required: 4
(IO 0 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0620))
(IO 1 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0a20))
(IO 2 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0e20))
# Start dependent functions: priority acceptable
# Logical device decodes 16 bit IO address lines
# Minimum IO base address 0x0620
# Maximum IO base address 0x0680
# IO base alignment 32 bytes
# Number of IO addresses required: 4
# (IO 0 (SIZE 4) (BASE 0x0620))
# End dependent functions
# Vendor defined tag: 75 01 69 46 35 55
(NAME "CTL00e4/186086730[2]{WaveTable }")
(ACT Y)
))
# End tag... Checksum 0x00 (OK)
Also if you're playing midis you have to use the -e option on AWE cards for some
reason-> %playmidi -e mymid.mid
Hopefully this can be useful to someone. Thanks again to everyone who helped me.
