Any information about daughterboard of Diamond Monster Sound MX200?

You most certainly won't be able to get the original board. Just get the Dreamblaster X2GS, which is a descendant of that board and has a newer Roland GS soundbank.

I'm looking for the specific soundset specific to the MX200 wavetable board. If it's not otherwise available, I'll just hold out to hopefully acquire an MX200.

It uses a 4MB Roland GS soundset from DREAM, because it uses an old DREAM DSP, and you can't get the daughterboard these days or the bank itself, which was only available through DREAM's dev channels. According to the datasheets, DREAM had multiple GM and GS soundbanks for different memory sizes, going as high as 32MB, but specific information for those old banks is only available from DREAM itself and not openly distributed, as far as I can tell. The bank itself would probably be encrypted in the card memory, so you wouldn't be able to "get at it" without some serious effort, if you could even get a hand on the card, but there are other daughterboards from the late 90's-early 2000's that use the same GS bank because they use the DREAM chips. If you have the Yucatan FX board from Dreamblaster, it should be the same soundset.

Unfortunately I do not, and it looks like that was a limited run so none available.

The only other board of the era that I've seen that has the same chipset is the Turtle Beach CancunFX board for the Montego II. I'll add that to the list of cards to hunt for.

I have both the Yucatan FX and the original Diamond 4MB card.

The 4MB cards pop up every once in a while but they are usually priced super high.

I don't know if this will be of any use to you, but here is a bank converted from the bank used with the Diamond and Yucatan boards. The name of the bank is "GSSBK320.94B".

Here is a PDF with some information and sound list....

It also turns out that there are thousands of the original ROM chips available through parts sellers, so anyone can throw together their own board, by pairing one with a compatible Dream DSP.
