Re-identify hardware from CD label info

Post by marceg16579 »

I have a old installation CD of Creative Technology Sound Blaster 16.

It is possible to re-identify the hardware of the selling box using cd label info?

The label is laser incised on the back face of the cd and is “BR00820-14 ABCDEF Made by KAO Ireland 1213330080-2”.

Thanks in advance!!! ;)

It's for a Sound Blaster 16 card. What else do you want to know, exactly?

There is various models of the SB16 card, listed here:

CT1230, CT1231, CT1239, CT1290, CT1291, CT1299, CT1730, CT1740, CT1749, CT1750, CT1759, CT1770, CT1779, CT1780, CT1789, CT1790, CT1799, CT2230, CT2290, CT2700, CT2740, CT2750, CT2770, CT2830, CT2840, CT2910, CT2940, CT2950, CT4170

So which model is assigned to the CD I have?

Not sure what model (or models) is your CD from, but TextAssist crashes if you don't run it from the card corresponding that driver.

Maybe the laser incised label reported on the back face of the cd “BR00820-14 ABCDEF Made by KAO Ireland 1213330080-2” could help.

I don't think they produced a CD for every possible variant of the SB16. I don't think you'll get any more specific information than what you already have
