Here are some pictures.
On the chip is labeled as CX4235-X03

If that's the same card that Phil reviewed in this video you may want to avoid it.

Its FM synthesis implementation is broken.

yeah pretty much seems like it.
The PCB is slightly different but i guess that´s just another revision.
However i downloaded the drivers provided from philscomputerlab.com and it crashed the hell out of windows 98.
After the reboot, windows found a new device and a few seconds later the screen goes black and then nothing happens.
In Windows Xp, the setup causes 100% cpu load while it´s not responding but other than this the system still boots up fine.

I don´t care about FM synthesis atm, i just want to get at least any audio out of this machine, unfortunately i do not have anything else atm.
Still waiting for my ESS1887F to arrive from ebay aswell as the ESS Solo-1 PCI which i got for 6€
