I want to make a small list and pictures of the SBPro2 CT1600 revisions and differences between the revisions.
Currently I have found on google images 6 iterations of the the same CT1600 card with revision numbers beginning in 03, 04, 05, 06, 07 and 08 at the left bottom of the cards.
Images: 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08.
From revision 05 (now marked 1992) a 14.318Mhz oscillator chip was added on board, previous revisions took the clock from the motherboard(?).
From revision 06 the Bus Interface chip changed to CT1336A from CT1336.
From revision 07 I can see a different mixer chip CT1345-S instead of CT1345.
I would like to know more about the revision changes of the SBPro2 CT1600 cards and if there are major sound differences.
Also, it would be nice to know what DSP version on each of the Revisions.
Attached is a small DOS software that shown the DSP version [thanks kixs].
Note, I have a slight error in the revision numbers in my posts.
Thank to Cloudschatze for clarifying this:

Referring to the (at least eight, not counting pre-production, "00" models) SBPro2 cards as anything other than 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08 versions/revisions is bound to lead to unnecessary confusion.
