It should be on your windows disk. When you install the soundcard don't have window search for the drivers, select choose it from list (or something like that). Show all compatible devices, and look in the packar bell folder.

To get your old Aztech sound card working in Windows.. Install your sound card.. Then install DirectX6.1.. If you have DirectX installed, just Reinstall it.. It will install the latest Aztech driver for your card..

And for DOS support.. just add to your autoexec.bat file..

setblaster = a220 I5 d1

I believe that is correct.. You don't need to put the Setblaster command in your autoexec, to get sound from Dos thru a Dos box in Windows.. Only in True DOS mode..

I hope this helps..

If you still can't get it going check with me. And send the FCC number. I have an old Aztec like that one and I got it working

Tried the Aztech driver site? http://www.aztechca.com/aztfiles.html
Had similiar problems with a card that didn't appear to be supported by the Fcc# but by trial and error I found it was a Sound Nova 16. This card and several of the older Aztech cards do not have dedicated Win 95 drivers. You just load the Dos ones and have them sitting in your Autoexec.bat when the computer boots and it should work fine. Unfortunately with the older cards it is a bit of trial and error especially for those that do not have dedicated Win95 drivers (they are supported under Win3.1 however). The card works just fine for basic sound and games though. Good luck.
