I cloned the AWE64 memory board!
UPDATE: Sorry for this update, but I had to take down the project to sort out some issues with Creative - looks like they aren't OK with the "Sound Blaster" and "AWE64" logo on the PCB after all. However, I am working with them to get this project back online! It probably will just be an altered PCB without the logos from Creative. A follow-up video will go up as soon as possible to explain the situation. Do you own a Creative Sound Blaster AWE64 but lack the memory expansion to load large sound fonts?
