I don't know if I'm a bad "googler" but I can't seem to find a picture of how a Sound Blaster 1.0 looks like..only of SB 1.5 and 2.0

SB 1.0 will have the two CMS-301 solder on board. Plus the IC chip near the upper right corner, without the resister. (SB 1.5 will have the resister solder already. ) PC |

Actualy got one of these so here's a pic of this card, it feels like you're holding a piece of history in your hand:  Still looking for the software that came with this card, drivers like ctvoice.drv etc will be needed for some games |

Interesting, and yet, doesn't the CT-1320x still make it an SB 1.5? |

Any idea what the DSP version is?
Plus the IC chip near the upper right corner, without the resister. (SB 1.5 will have the resister solder already. )
Also, this is not accurate; I have a CT-1320c without this resistor. |

Cloud,
got a photo for your ct-1320c?
My ct-1320a looks exactly like the one Amigaz posted.

Cloud,

Creative's own website states that the SB 1.0 is CT-1310, and the SB 1.5 is CT-1320. Did the SAA-1099 chips become optional after the 1.5 was released (between the "A" and "B" revisions)? |

Actually... SB 1.0's CMS chip is soldered direct onto the board. Haven't seen a SB 1.0 with CT-1310 marking yet. I got one SB 1.5 I bought 20 yrs ago... with CT-1320c marking as well... and 2 empty socket for CMS-301, and the resister soldered on upper right IC.
So far haven't seen any CT-1320b yet.
The Circuit Board's dark green color on my SB 1.0 is the same color found on my CT-1300 Game Blaster.

I thought I was onto something, but apparently Creative's own (mis)information contradicts itself. Some of their sites state that the SB 1.0 is CT-1310, and others state that the CT-1320 was used for both the SB 1.0 and 1.5. So far haven't seen any CT-1320b yet. Salient should have one coming, unless this is just a typo: http://www.a1usedcomputers.com.au/shop/prodView.asp?idproduct=311 |

When I ordered that card I never took note of the B. So IF it is true and it IS a CT1320B I should cherish it and guard it with my life I suppose since it would be very rare? Anyway, the picture looks like 'just' a CT1320C however, but it is hard to see on that small pic, I think I notice one difference: On the left lower corner I see no little hole where the CT1320C has one. Once it's here I'll tell you what type it is. |

Cloud,

Not the greatest of pictures (wrong lens), but here you go... Click on each photo to view a larger version.  Sound Blaster 1.5, CT-1320C Serial #065742 DSP Ver. 1.05  Sound Blaster 1.5, CT-1320C Serial #191009 DSP Ver. 2.00  Sound Blaster 1.5, CT-1320C Serial #205824 DSP Ver. 2.00 There are slight component changes with each card. On the last, the OPL2 and its DAC are soldered even, rather than socketed. |

Hi, Well I received the card today and after all it IS a CT1320B, so probably one of the very rare ones I guess. Here is a pic of it:  |

So, how about those DSP versions...? It would be nice to know if anything exists other than 1.00, 1.05, and 2.00...

Salient, Could you please enclose the Serial No & the DSP Ver as well? PC |

Will tell you the serial# when I'm home again. How can I tell the DSP version though? (with the original installation software I found out ) Update: The Serial number is: No. 098285 Update2: The DSP version is: 1.05 |
