Hi,
I recently brought up my old "Avid Technology" ISA sound card from the basement equipped with creative Chips (as seen on the picture)
I discovered that it has 2 YM3812 (OPL2) chips on it?
I cant find any explanation why this is?
Regards,
Wim
Um, it's perhaps a SB Pro 1 "clone" without CD-ROM interface ? 😅

What does this have to do with the SB Pro 2? Looks like an SB Pro 1 setup.
Congrats!
It is a great card.
The original Sound Blaster Pro 1 (CT1330) has 2 OPL2 to provide stereo FM Sound.
Soon after the OPL3 chip was released. So Creative updated the Sound Blaster Pro to rev. 2 (CT1600) with 1 x OPL3.
The Sound Blaster Pro 1 is quite rare. That is why many collectors are looking for this version.
And your card is a clone of this card. So keep it!!

Great thanks for the info, this explains a lot.
We bought this sound card new back in the days and we played a lot of games on it, my father kept it all those years and we finally going to use it again with an upcoming retro build.
