Last week I got 3 ISA soundcards in the mail.
I tried to find some drivers, for DOS/Win3.11/95 or 98, without succes.
Maybe u guys can help me with some more info?

Soundcard 1: (Crystal CX4237B-XQ3)

The second one is an OPTi 82C929A-based sound card, the AD chip there is just the codec. I have a board that looks a bit similar(almost 1:1 clone of the Turtle Beach Monte Carlo 929), but uses a Crystal CS4248-KL codec (which doesn't interfere with the drivers) and has genuine Yamaha OPL chips.

Also, for the third one, you might want to pay attention to the AZTECH chip, as the Crystal one is, once again, just the codec.

The Aztech card (I38-MMSN824) is a Packard Bell derivative of the Sound Galaxy 3rd generation sound cards that utilised the AZT-2316/A/R chipset.
You should be able to use any of the equivalent Sound Galaxy drivers on this card, which is located under vogonsdrivers.
Try the drivers for model number I38-MMSN845 or I38-MMSN846 which is included in the large 75 MB zip file.

This sound card fully supports Sound Blaster, Sound Blaster Pro II & Windows Sound System.
It has the Yamaha OPL3 chip on board (not an emulator) and also has the Wave Blaster header, in case you want to attach a MIDI daughterboard (it doesn't suffer from the so called MIDI hanging note bug found in many Sound Blaster 16 based sound cards).

Thx Guys!

Sorry for the late response, and maybe bad English (it's not my home language)

I found some Opti DOS/Win95 drivers in this topic: Opti 82C929A - DOS driver anyone please?
Now i'm searching for the 75MB zip file 😊
