1. Is it 4MB?
2. What is its DAC? 16 or 18 bit?
3. Is it a 1:1 clone of the Yamaha DB50XG daughterboard, and if so, why did NEC do this?

Thanks very much for any info!

It is a Yamaha made DB60XG for NEC PC98 line of computers, it isn't a clone or anything. XR386 is a board designation and a similar number is found on all Yamaha PCBs. DB60XG is XR712 for example. Only difference between the two is the silkscreen (white markings around the parts), all parts are same otherwise.

1) yes, 4MB
2) 16bit like DB60XG and MU10
3) DB50XG is a different thing without ADC functionalities, it has 18bit output.
