Cool stuff, Thermalwrong! Thanks for sharing the pics. That's a rare card, i've seen it for sale only once in many years. And quite unique too - the only one to have a built-in speaker. Good to know it uses es1488 chip, will update my chart.
Do you know what kind of connector it uses?

Indeed, thanks for sharing those pictures, Thermalwrong!

Does anybody know if the GAMEjammer is compatible with the WAVjammer (or .WAVjammer), also by New Media?

I'm asking this, because the (.)WAVjammer is, to my knowledge, the only PCMCIA sound card that has native support in a number of later DOS games.

Hey, Digger 😀
Nope, GJ doesn't have native support in games like WJ does. They seem to use different chips. As according to NM website GJ supports 8bit mono sound while WJ supports 16bit sound and also 11 voice OPL2 vs 20 voice OPL2. https://web.archive.org/web/19970118220337/ht … orp.com/gj.html
Not sure why that is, though, as es1488 is a 16bit chip.
