S20
- Type:

- Chipset:
- OPTi 928, Crystal Semiconductor
- CD-ROM:
- ??
- Street price:
- ??
- OS/2 Drivers:
- Available
- Drivers from:
- OS/2 ftp: 929_v2.zip or opti928.zip
- Comments:
- This board uses the OPTi 928 and a Crystal Semiconductor chipsets.
The most detailed information I have on this board indicates that it
works mostly with either driver set, but some feature (VTD or CD
Audio) fail to work with one driver or the other.
AW32 Pro
- Type:
- FM synthesis (?)
- Chipset:
- Crystal Semiconductor 4236
- CD-ROM:
- ??
- Street price:
- ~$50
- OS/2 Drivers:
- Available
- Drivers from:
- OS/2 box, OS/2 ftp, Crystal Semiconductor's web site
- Comments:
- This is one of several boards based on the Crystal Semiconductor
4236 chipset. As such, it should work well under OS/2, including
having full-duplex support and OS/2 sound when a Windows program is
running when used with the latest drivers (but see the section on
Crystal Semiconductor chipsets for details).
AW35
- Type:
- Wavetable (?)
- Chipset:
- Crystal Semiconductor
- CD-ROM:
- ??
- Street price:
- ~$50
- OS/2 Drivers:
- Available
- Drivers from:
- OS/2 box, OS/2 ftp, Crystal Semiconductor's web site
- Comments:
- This is Acer's latest sound board. Like the AW32, it's based on one of
the popular Crystal Semiconductor chipsets. I've not seen much about it
under OS/2, however.
