However, some users find that a newly-purchased variant of this card does not in fact work with BeOS. The biggest problem is that there are so many variants of this card&#8217;s chipset (there are at least 9 versions of the AWE32, and 23 versions of the SB16), and the package doesn&#8217;t always make it easy to determine exactly which one you&#8217;re getting in the box. Most of them work, but there are some cards out there for which Be hasn&#8217;t yet been supplied with appropriate documentation. The only thing you can really do in such a situation is to inform Be&#8217;s technical support department and wait for an update. Alternatively, you might want to trade the card with the store or with someone else for a version that does work.<br \/>\nIn addition, if you should happen to purchase a PCI version rather than ISA, note that you&#8217;ll be getting a different chipset entirely, and will need to download the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bebits.com\/app\/120\">Ensoniq es1370<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.be.com\/beware\/Drivers\/es1371.html\">Ensoniq es1371<\/a> driver.
