Anybody here ever use or even better yet own an Antex Z1e?

I was looking at some other Antex cards and noticed that the Z1/Z1e has OPL support of some kind. I would be interested in getting one of these old cards.

I haven't even been able to find a picture of it.

Edit:
It also has a 2MB wavetable daughtercard as well as joystick/MIDI port.

See here for a small bit of info.
