Can any one help me find MS-DOS drivers for ESS ES488-F chipset? I have an card named AUDIO MAGICIAN PLUS that uses this chip and an dedicated YM3812 FM chip. I have managed to find Windows 9x drivers here.

Isn't this card SB compatible? Set the jumpers, set blaster= command and you're good to go... (I think 😉 )

Visit my AmiBay items for sale (updated: 2025-10-29). I also take requests 😉

Youre right, I just read about in little information I could find. The ESS chip was also used in an IBM PC110 laptop. A guy that runs an website about it stated that for Windows 3.11 one can use default Sound Blaster drivers or universal ESS drivers (The pack with a lot of chip models thats easy to find).

I am eager to try it with some Note OPL2 songs 😊
