Hello Karsten,

i have an AWE64Gold, which shall be compatible to SB16 concerning the
audio
and midi part (Gold means gold plated in's and out's and cables, 64
means
32 soft synth voices plus 32 emu8000 voices, but the ISA-bus width is 16
as on the SB16). I use DMA 1 and 5 with this card. What thoughts led You
to the point, that You can use DMA 1 only ?

Bye, Emil.
