Got this ISA OPL soundcard today - the chipset is a Crystal CS4231A-KL + Opti 82C924 + LS212 OPL-chip (probably a Yamaha clone?)
Unfortunately I wasn't able to find matching drivers/software for DOS + Windows 3.1 - any hint?
Building my own PCs since 1991 - for my retro builds it's "no CF-disks, no Floppy emulators, no modern cases etc.", only the real and authentic stuff whenever possible.
Yes the LS212 is a "clone" opl... Probably made from the same parts as a real opl just different lable. After around 1994 Yamahas OPL patents ran out and everybody cloned these or simply relabeled them.
The LS215 right next to it is a "YAC512" DAC "copy".
They sound exactly the same as "Real" parts.
Your card seems to be from 1995 if i can see the datecodes right.
The main chip you need drivers for is the OPTI82C924. The codec is the CS4231A chip.
This combination i know as the "MJ-009R06" Soundcard.
But be careful MJ-009R06 is available with opti 82c924 and opti 82c929! 929 Drivers dont work on 924 cards.
I have one of those 924 cards in my collection. Here is a link to pictures, a manual and drivers.
