I have two sound cards on hand. One is a Sound Blaster 2.0 CT1350B rev 0. I'm attempting to install the CMS upgrade for this card.(haven't got it working yet)
The other one is a SOUNDBLASTER 16 SCSI-2 ASP CT1770.
My questions are as follows;
1.)Which card would work best in my Souped Up (AST HotShot 286 Accelerator) IBM 5155 portable?
2.)Is there a CMS upgrade for the CT1770? Or is it already built in?
3.)If not, how much will the CMS upgrade do for the CT1350B, if I can get it working?
4.)What can the CT1770 do that the CT1350B with the CMS ugrade can't?
I know the SCSI port on the CT1770 won't work because it needs a 16 bit buss and the High DMA is not availlable. But other than that, it seems to work well on the 8 bit buss.
If you can answer just one of these, please chime in!
Thanks
Greg
