Hello everyone !
I've got this card laying around for a while, but since I got it, I always wondered if it had something special seeing how big it is (okay there are sound cards munch bigger than this, but eh, they always tend to be special when they are long ^^). It even has some sockets for ... Ram ? Why ? I know that it can be used in order to store sound banks, but I don't know if it's the case here.
Also at a first glance it looks nice except for the jacks, but then you see this :
Rust ... Rust on half the pins of this chip. But this isn't the worst thing here ... It's on the back
See this hole that have been completely eaten by corrosion ? Well it's right underneath the rusted chip, so I can't know where it goes in order to bridge it without taking that chip off that card
Same problem here except that there is even more holes (the chip is smaller though)
So yeah ... I didn't test that card, but seing how bad it looks I don't think it will work at all. I wanted to know if it was worth the hassle to repair this or if that was completely useless because this card has nothing special.
