Yes. Love them. I's the standard card on my project. We use at least 10
of them here.

34

Probably. I've had a Fiji coesist with an SB-16, and the built in
Soundblaster emulation of a Dell. Never tried an AWE. AS long as you can
disable the joystick port on one card or the othere, you chould be able
to bypass any other conflicts.
p.s. we never use PNP on the Fijis, we always manually set them to
address 260. Seems to eliminate a lot of conflicts with netsork cards.
p.p.s. there is a Turtle Beach pinnacle, combining Fiji audio and a
Kurzweil wavetable synthesis system.

Depends on how close together they are. We try to isolate our Fijis in
the slot farthest from the power supply, and have buily mu-metal shields
for a few of them. (mu-metal is an expensive, hard to work with magnetic
shielding material, but worth the trouble in many situations).
