I don't have any experience with those ensoniq PCI cards but I do think it'll work. If there's a way to disable the FM emulation in the drivers that should be enough.

Just a short cable will do yep.

Thank you.
I'll just have to figure out how to do that

AdLib and IRQ? Not totally sure about the Resound, but the regular AdLib didn't need an IRQ, just an address to write to (0x388).

Because it was write-only, you can have multiple cards with something at that address without conflict, you just need to mute all but one of the outputs, or conversely switch to the correct input (depending on how you wire stuff up).

Adlib is not write only, it has a status register which is used for the timers and detection purposes. It occupies 388 and 389 for OPL2 and additionally 38A and 38B for OPL3. Multiple cards responding to the Adlib addresses will produce bus contention but most will respond nearly at the same time with same data so the problem is minimal. All the cards I have made offer option to make OPL2/3 write only, to prevent this bus contention problem when another card is present without such a feature.
