I have two CT1740 Soundblaster 16s. One is clean with a v4.12 DSP and another that’s rusty with a V4.05 DSP chip. If I swap them would it be compatible with the rest of the hardware?

Until I hear otherwise I’ll assume that would cause issues with other IC version differences. I’ve cleaned up the board with contact cleaner, isopropyl, and a soft brass brush. I’ll give it a try in my DOS box next week to see if it lives.

I'd swap both DSP chips for a new one to solve the hanging note bug and other minor issues.
