How about these two cards?I purchased it from a local IT forum around 2005.
I guess it is an OEM product made by YAMAHA for NEC.How can we maximize their effectiveness?

The two cards are exactly the same except for the crystal oscillator. It is said that they are two versions of it: version B and version C.Equipped with 4M memory, supports XG format, 32-voice polyphony.

All revisions are functionally same, the only difference is the type of crystals used on them. Every other part and their connections remains unchanged.

The best way is to turn one into a TB60XG but my hands are a bit too full to do that for the time being 🤣

These cards do suffer from bad capacitors, some have even leaked ones and when there are issues with sound, it is going to be the cause.

Thanks!I will find a suitable time and try to see if they can still work normally, such as with the Diamond MX300
