Stumbled upon this thread while trying to ID this soundcard I'm getting with a bunch of other old parts:

I take it it's a Primax Soundstormwave card? It's definitely a GUS clone, but the layout is different from what you guys have posted here and the pic isn't clear enough to read the silk-screenings.... Anything special about these?

EDITED - silkscreening reads "SOUND M16C" (between the Gravis GF1 chip and the ISA connector)

It's a internally a late GUS revision with ICS mixer chip and 4x CD-ROM interfaces. I strongly recommend to add the memory IC to have 1 MB on it.
I have here two in my gallery http://www.retronn.de/imports/hwgal/hw_gus.html

Sweet - my first GUS card. Now I can't wait for it to get here!

The gus i have also has the ics-mixer.

The Synergy Vipermax might be a bit more rare than the GUS Extreme, I'm only aware of a handful of those.

I always think, that Synergy Vipermax and GUS Extreme is same board, differ only with logo and box. Is this true?

What do you mean? CT4390 or CT4540?

Added two of them.
Why did you use "altrasound" name? As far as I know - it's just a nickname, not official.

Does somebody can add this cards on new page?

Somebody sort a both tables without taking in to account, that they contain different type of boards.
So, I've add second spreadsheet and move midi DB to them.

Sorted by name for now.
Added prototypes to main table. Maybe will move to separate page later.
Please add info and link to photos, for missing boards.

Honestly I'm just quoting from earlier in the thread, ever since I moved more posts here from the eBay thread the other day. Look on the first page.

Again a quote from earlier in the thread. Ask that guy, not me. Sorry to cause confusion. 😀

I'll try to do this. 😀

Thank you for not removing "The Entertainer" yet. 😀

AWE64 Gold Mark II - CT4560, a presumably existing prototype of the ultimate ISA SB that never went into production due to the shift towards PCI sound cards.

That's gotta be it, the original poster was not specific. Thanks hard1k. 😀

Member gerwin posted a pic showing the AWE64 Gold II CT 4560 in this thread, it's a shame it never reached the market.

AWE64 Platinum deluxe

Yeah. I would give my V5 6k and a fortune for that baby...

I'm surprised there's only 2 people owning a Pro Audio Spectrum Plus, one of them being myself.

I have downloaded, renamed and packed all those pictures into two files so they don't get lost with time.

Okay, I think I mined everything of use from lolo799's PCMCIA soundcard thread.

- If I missed anything, please go ahead and add it.

- easy_john's list is only of RARE soundcards, so please remove the ones that are NOT rare.

Added myself to the Primax Sound M16C owners list -> thanks for helping me ID the card guys.

Thanks, I edited a bit as I don't own some of the cards anymore.
And there was one copy-paste error in the description of a card, other than that, good job!
