Hi all, just rescued this card from a very sad waterlogged 486 tower.

Aside from the tower at one point being the home of a squirrel or small rodent, the sound card was in good shape!

Anyways, the card is a bit of an enigma. Analog Devices ECHO-based cards seem to be a bit uncommon as-is, with the most well-known being the Orchid Soundwave 32.

The card is marked as:
(c) 1994 ECHO SPEECH CORP
ECHO(R) DSP
FCC ID: KNA ECHO 067-09

Looks like it may have a 1M wavetable?
Chip is marked:
EUPHONICS ES2PRO-SS1M-1/1

Pictures attached.

Anyone know where I can find drivers for this thing?

Best bet: try some of the drivers of the other cards with the Echo.

There are some links here:
Weames PA-9050-B (AD Echo) ROM (?) sockets

My card (definitely not this one) didn't work fully with the Soundwave 32 drivers, but there are others it did work with. Warning: even when it works fully, it's still crap - but interesting crap. Different to other awful cards 😉
