Thinly disguised tongue in cheek joke. But I chuckled anyway. Your forum credentials are too robust to pull this off very well.

 

[Evilsizer]

figured i would give it a shot, LOL you figure out what SB card that is?

*edit*
i guess i cant make it fit in this huh?

Well, it's old enough to be PCI so it should work in that motherboard.

That is an ISA sound card, Not PCI. Are you testing us here?

This, it's ISA and very old lol

 

[Evilsizer]

everything is a test! anyone figure out which card it is yet?

 

[trents]

Yep, ISA not PCI. My bad. I knew better. Been so long I had forgotten the term.

It looks similar to a Creative Labs CT3600 Sound Blaster but some things where not soldered on. I'm guessing something in that family.

It looks similar to my sound blaster 16 except mine has the optical drive controller.
I have a mobo that'll fit that sb.

Edit, yours is the AWE32, correct?

I don't think so. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/95/Creative_Sound_Blaster_AWE32_PNP_CT3990.jpg
If you look the last column by that really long pin header is in a different configuration and also his doesn't have the pin header.

there were two versions of the same card, one with the IDE controller on it for the cd rom back in the day. mine is without the IDE controller, AWE32 PNP with 2x1mb or 2x2mb simms installed.

OC-NightHawk is the name pattern recognition is the game.

Confession time: this hardware was from when I was in elementary school. We had one I was never allowed to actually look behind the curtain but I remember the audio back in the day being quite amazing. Was this from around the time of the 486 and double speed CD-Roms?

 

[Evilsizer]

i forget when i got my card but i swear i had a pentuim something with it. either that or i had some kind of 486 DX2 66mhz or DX4 100mhz with it, been to long ago. found this though, pretty cool read Chronology of Microprocessors

What is that I hear? 8bit sounds? A bunch of tones?

That is a blast from the past Evil!!

 

[Evilsizer]

umm you think that is a blast from the past, LOOK AT THIS! im not sure, nor have i looked, but i think thats a MFM connection, 5.25in drive double stack, size unknown(maybe 1mb or 2mb). small box of matches in the third picture for a idea of how big it is.
