You can generally tell which type of card is in a system by examining the SET
BLASTER statement.  A typical SET BLASTER statement follows:

   SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6

This indicates that the card is using base address 220, IRQ 5, Low DMA
Channel 1, High DMA channel 5, MIDI port address 330, and card type 6.  SB
1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and Pro cards will not have 'H' or 'P' parameters.  AWE-32
cards may also have a 'E' parameter which indicates the location of the first
portion of the AWE address range on the card.

The possible card types are:

    T2  - Sound Blaster Pro 1
    T3  - Sound Blaster 1.0, 1.5, 2.0
    T4  - Sound Blaster Pro 2
    T5  - Sound Blaster Pro MicroChannel version
    T6  - Sound Blaster 16, including AWE-32
    T10 - Sound Blaster MicroChannel version

All of our cards can be identified by the CT number on the card; this list
currently only covers cards officially released by Creative in the United
States.  Cards are listed roughly by order of introduction.  Default
selections for a setting are indicated with [] (square brackets) around the
setting.  All of our sound cards also make use of the standard Adlib
addresses (388h-389h), and game port addresses (200h-207h).

Sound Blaster 16 AWE-32 / AWE-32 Value (CT2760, CT2760A, CT3780) -
***This card is effectively a SB16 MultiCD card with the following addition:
  AWE I/O addresses are based on the base I/O of the card.  The AWE portion
  takes 3 separate address ranges in the form:  6x0h-6x3h
                                                Ax0h-Ax3h
                                                Ex0h-Ex0h

  For example, if the base address of the card is 220, then the regular base
  address range is 220h-233h and the AWE base address ranges are from
  620h-623h, A20h-A23h, and E20h-E23h.  With these settings, there will also
  be an E620 in the SET BLASTER line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT.

The following chart shows which types of drives will work with which Creative
card.  To determine the EXACT CT number of a card, please look at both the CT
number printed on the board AND the CT number on the white sticker on the 
back of the card.  If they do NOT agree, use the CT number on the sticker.  
Please see the note at the end on exact drives and drivers for each of the 
interfaces listed below:
