Does anybody recognize and/or know what type and brand of wavetable cards these are?

1. DB IIA REV 1.1, Identified as "Ast Advantage Wavetable Card R1.1A"

2. S-W1/C, Identified as IBM Aptiva S-W1/C

Any help is welcome. 😀

Unfortunately, at the back of either of these two cards is nothing written at all.

Update: After googling the part numbers the first card has been identified as an "Ast Advantage Wavetable Card R1.1A". 😀
The second card is some IBM thing but no solid leads so far.

I have a datasheet pdf for the CS9233.
try ftp://Daisy:Daisy@78.47.208.97/misc/dream/CS9233.PDF
(also more dream datasheets and info available there)
The CS4112 is a 1 MB Soundfont ROM: http://www.datasheetarchive.com/datasheet-pdf … DSA0067999.html
The unsoiled chip is most probably the effects processor CS8905.

What do you mean? Dream S.A. is a common company that produced a whole series of Wavetable DSPs, Effect Processors and also had Soundfont ROMs.
It somehow belonged to Crystal which is Analog Devices now. So with the certain Chip ID, its difficult to say.
