OK, that got to be rare?
What the heck is that? Some kinda GUS ACE on steroids with midi?

Do rare variants of common cards count as "rare", too? I own a CT1780 for example, which is a very rare variant of the original SB16.

Yes, I think we can list them.

(sorry for the X2 on top, haven't made any pictures without it 😉 )

It has both the ASP chip AND a volume wheel. Very nice!

Looks like full feature GUS-Clasic clone.
Rev 3.7x with the mixerchip.
What Gusdrive2 say?

BTW: Congrat for Dynasonix Wave find. Is it same card?
Re: Bought these (retro) hardware today

@peklop - Yes! thats exactly the same 😀
It's getting more and more difficult to find a GUS clone these days...
Luckily stii sometimes interesting appears in web from time to time.

I also own a logitech soundman wave. This is also a card you don't see much.

Logitech Soundman Games is even more rare.

I googled for my old soundcard, and found this interesting looking forum. So I had to register only to ask is this Logitech Soundman Games really so rare? I bought this one as a teenager and had to save the card and box, because it was my first piece of PC hardware bought with my own money. It was one of the cheapest soundcards costing about 450 Finnish Marks 1993 (75€ directly converted without inflation) and was praised by legendary Finnish magazine Mikrobitti in a wide review, so this was the card for me.

Maybe should build a Dos gaming PC some day.

Not sure how rare but we still have our original ISA soundcard.

A MediaVision Pro Audio Studio 16. We had it in our 486SX back in the day and never had the heart to turf it.

Will now re-purpose it in a new Legacy Dos PC Build 😀

Best part about the SoundMan Games is that it can be easily identified with that blue CD-ROM connector.
Not exactly rare, but not too common either.

I have an Aztech Sound Galaxy NX Pro that's a Sound Blaster Pro (either 1 or 2) compatible, has Disney Sound Source, Covox Speech Thing, genuine OPL3 (YMF-262M) chipset, MPU-401 UART (tested this and it does work), and volume potentiometer.

Had to repair the card due to traces being destroyed, but it was successful.

This one is also rare:

On the board is written Amigo.. But its actually and gravis ultra sound compatible.

It is a J.J.L. (D&B produts) Ultra Wave Card.

That is a photo that i took from 1 of the 2 cards i had. Sold this one, still have the one without the bios.
Look at this thread how member Peklop eventually found out the cards name: indentify gus max clone

Motiveren you didn’t have a picture of the Logitech soundmachine wave in the Google docs. So here it is.

I came across this neat little Japanese homepage that shows various sound cards and wavetable daughterboards, including some that appear to be Japan-exclusive:

http://wavetable.web.fc2.com/

(Note that Google translate trips over the menu frame, so you'll have to copy individual URLs...)

This is well-known dautherboard colection page, this page even listed in wikipedia.
There is no japan-exclusives.

How did you discover them?

No idea whether it is rare, but it is a definitely exotic Taiwanese VGA+soundcard combo of the mid-1990s. Never found drivers for it in the web.
I found them in two Wortmann PCs that I bought used around 2000.
I used them as tester cards for examining mobos' function, as they are quite reliable.
(However, the VGA output quality declined over the years exactly in the way one sees when the DC stability decreases, with the older card recently even showing memory errors. Imho its probably a recapping issue.)
The sound chips are from ST and Philips.
