- Comments:
- I don't know if Aztech actually sells their chipsets to other
companies, but certainly many boards are re-badged Aztech units or use
Aztech's chipsets, so I've created a chipset entry for Aztech.
Aztech's OS/2 support has slowly improved, from being quite iffy to
being OK but still not spectacular. With Warp 4.0, though, the Aztech
support is lagging again, since it doesn't support VTD. If you
already have a board with an Aztech chipset, it's certainly worth
digging up the drivers for it; but I wouldn't recommend buying an
Aztech-based board if you want a new sound card. Particularly common
problems include Win-OS/2 support and wavetable sound (for
wavetable-enabled boards).
