MPU-401 On The Sound Blaster AWE32

Question:

Does the AWE32 have a hardware MPU-401? I tried to install a MPU-401 driver in Windows and it wasn't successful.

Answer:

The AWE32 does not have an MPU-401. It emulates an MPU-401 doing general midi with the aweutil.exe driver that came with the card. This driver does not work with protected mode programs (like Windows). Since it is only emulating an MPU-401, drivers to run an actual MPU-401 will not work.
