Yeah, what he said.

Took me a couple days to get the new PnP AWE-64 running at all.
Turned out not to be an SB compatibility problem (it's the PnP, this
got documented on this list by somebody about 10 minutes after I first
got saytime to talk to me, so I'll omit it), but in the prcess, I did
a lot of RTFMing, and basically the FMs say relying on SB emulations
by anything that doesn't have SB hardware in it is a waste of time.
