I was told by the initiator and sponsor of this project that the parts were extremely difficult to source and come mainly from China. A significant amount of time and money was invested. He actually had several other daughterboards (including SCC-1 and SCC-1A versions) and several ISA soundcards …

The repair fixes it for me, but only until the next reboot of Windows 10.... I hope there will be an updated version.

So I made recordings of both my Ensoniq DB revisions A and B.

It is indeed just a check. As long as the installation runs after that, you're fine. Unfortunately the serial number on the cd inlay either was never printed on it or the ink disappeared throughout the years. I just tried installing with the serial number from my other Turtle Beach products and …
