Came across a sample of Aztech legacy sporting a real OPL chip.
No defective Aztech wavetable connector, no Crystal chip. Unfortunately, there are reasons why I doubt I identify this card correctly.
BIG size, no ads:

The device obviously had some sticker removed from the main chip, it had some glue left, but I wiped it off.
Otherwise it seems to be a decent jumperless Aztech with their trademark Parallel Port emulation.
Stason.org has its exact picture, but I doubt the model name they list is quite right.

It's great, but no "16 bit" indication in the model name. and the card is obviouly 16 bit... And what's really not nice, driver sites don't seem to know a model with such a name either. No driver.
Or I would have just tried it 😀
There is a very similar model listed as 'Reveal' brand, the very possible reason fot the glue on the main chip.

But the picture here is ~not~ exactly matching and the drivers for this SC-300 don't seem to be readily available (many links are just 'too old too cold'.)
The "Soundcards ISA" list mentions the chipset of this card (AZTSSPT0592-U01) but it's listed as Sound Galaxy SCSI.
Though here we have Panasonic and Mitsumi proprietary interfaces.
I plugged it into a 5SVA Pentium pnp board, bit it was not configured by Plug and Play (unlike my favourite Terratec ESS).
So what shall be done to it? ^ ^
It might have some merit.
