As with the, software designers had to write special AWE32 support into their programs. Actual physical modeling instruments were not popular on the AWE, although some support exists in the format.The AWE32 didn't use its port to access the EMU8000-Creative decided to expose the EMU8000's registers directly, through three sets of non-standard ports, and interpret MIDI commands in software on the host CPU.
The option was used mostly as an effect engine for chorus and effects. All of Creative's subsequent cards, other than the series, support SoundFonts.On the initial release, Creative promoted the EMU8000 as a engine, due to its ability to work with. The card was sold with software for building custom SoundFonts. I had a Sound Blaster 16 AWE32 ISA sound card available. Most newer power supplies (all of them ATX) supply at the very least 250 watts.Eventhough I had the option of replacing that very old AT power supply with a newer type ATX power supply (the TOMATO motherboard had provisions for both kind of power supplies) supplying 250 watts instead of 200 watts (remarkably, both have the same physical dimensions, so putting the ATX power supply in place of the old AT power supply in the cabinet would have been no problem at all, as far as physical installation goes), I had another option. I surmise that kind of power supply was designed to power up old IBM-AT clones running under DOS with a monochrome monitor, and that trying to extract from it enough power to run the Sound Blaster Live! PCI card was just to much.

Not only Windows XP failed to boot, as a matter of fact the initial BIOS screen normally provided by the motheboard did not show up, and the entire monitor screen (an SVGA 15' type monitor) would go blank almost immediately every time the PC was turned on.The main suspect, from the very beginning, was the power supply that came with the cabinet, an old 200 watts AT power supply.

After doing so, I decided to install a Western Digital 160 Gb hard drive, and load the Windows XP Service Pack 2 operating system in the machine.
Since that motherboard would actually fit in an old AT-style cabinet, I mounted the old motherboard on the old cabinet and as a power source I used the same power source that came along with that cabinet (an old type AT-power supply, the predecessor to the newer ATX power supplies).Oddly enough, everything worked Ok when I first turned the machine on (that is, getting up to the BIOS windows). Perhaps sharing my experience with you might be of some help.I had an old TOMATO motherboard (never before used) from around 1998-99 with the old AMD processor AMD K6-2 3d now CPU (500 MHz) that goes along with it, and I also had a very old IBM-PC AT style cabinet that was actually used with an old type monochrome monitor (with a very old Hercules Graphics card, no color available) running strictly under the old style DOS 3.1 operating system. So I'm still at a loss as to what the problem is.I'm thinking it's either a motherboard problem or a failure of the sound card itself.Any suggestions welcome. I am plugging it in to the long black ISA slot on the board (And yes, it only has one, so I can test another, unfortunately).I've plugged in a PCI card in a PCI slot, to see if there is the same, problem - And that works perfectly.
