These are ISA cards and none of them are kX compatible. Your AWE 32 card and AWE 64 if that is what your ??? card is may or may not have SPDIF connectors, which might allow you to link those 2 cards together with an SPDIF cable but data transfer in these old ISA cards is slower than PCI cards. If you are using a Pentium III, you might still have some ISA slots on your motherboard but you won't find them on P4s.

Save yourself a lot of troubles and get some SbLive's instead...
