It looks it has dual OPL2 setup, and is probably SB compatible too, and probably is a reimplementation of SB Pro. It might be quite interesting to get if it is not expensive.

Looks like a soundblaster clone. I would not bother with it.

Near the slot it says "Copyright 1990 U*NICOM systems."

* - unsure about the letter U.

I'm not so sure. If those two at the top of the cards are OPL2s, why do their stickers have different roman numerals on them, and where are their DACs? Unless their DACs live in that chip labled VIII...

I think it is:
Nicom Systems Inc.

The other writing of course says:
Sound Partner Stereo.

If it is indeed stereo, then it must either be a SB Pro clone or something else. The amp section looks better done than most cards and look at those 4 RCA connectors and the two 3.5mm jacks.

Whatever it is, if you don't want it, I would maybe like to get it. It is definitely a super rare card. I have never seen one before.

Where are you located? How much is being asked for it?

I'm trying to see if I can locate a web page for that company but wayback machine is having issues right now... or the internet connection where I am at sucks. Keeps giving me 503 errors.

I talked this morning with the seller to find an economic agreement, but I don't know who else wrote to him, and now he thinks he has a card so rare he can ask absurd prices. 🙁

DACs etc. for everything are definitely in the 3rd chip, it is where the analog functions seem to converge in. I would love to see under those stickers...

Oh the dawn of early sound cards... There are so many chips scratched clear or taped over.

Well, when nobody bites then maybe he will come to his senses.

Without any real knowledge / drivers / documentation that card is pretty useless and not worth much IMO.

If it can't be used, the only value is the collector value.

Nope. Just saw such a card for sale (#334392046995). Found it while browsing the electric bay and
entered the card's name on the PCB in a search engine.
That was a few minutes ago. Then I just landed here. 😔

Edit: The card is listed twice. 120E/180E. Same pic, though. Maybe an error.

Doubtful that it's an SB Pro clone since they would need a time machine. Could be two SB 1.0 clones for left/right, or maybe something completely incompatible.
