Does anyone know if the 50 pin SCSI CD-ROM interface connector on the CT1770 Soundblaster is a proprietary Creative Labs configuration or is it a standard 50 pin SCSI connector configuration?  I would also like to solicit opinions from forum members concerning whether the sound quality and compatibility for most DOS games would be better using the CT1770 Soundblaster16 SCSI-2, CT3600 or using the CT2760 AWE 32 card.  I plan to use an external MIDI device with whichever one I end up using so the MIDI sound generation capability of the boards should not be a factor in the assessment.  The board will be used in an old 486/33 system I am resurrecting for playing my old DOS games.

Thanks,

I bought one when it was brand new (boy did I get suckered!)  Yes, it and the off-brand SCSI CD-ROM were totally standard SCSI - no proprietary weirdness.

The SCSI interface found on CT-1770 is the same found on Adaptec AHA-152x SCSI adapter, without the BIOS of course.
You can use the driver found on Adaptec website.
