Hi,

i try search in my memory but i can´t remember name of one old computer card.
It was ISA DVD or DTS decoder accelerator. Probably not video MPEG2 but only 6ch sound.
Card wasn´t so big.
Maybe from German company like MIRO or Terratec.
What is card name? I googled unsuccessfuly.

thanks

Edit: updated thread name

Here was one sold for only 4€ 🙁

Card is DOLBY PRO LOGIC surround and not DTS, it is error of my memory.

i searched for more info about card but is ignored by retrocomputing comunity and sound cards collectors

Card was released in first half of the 1997 year. Is it PnP card? 8bit plug and play ISA cards are rare.
Article about card was in Business Wire, 1997 Feb 24, p2241096:
