74-series chips are logic chips, nothing to do with Adlib or the sound producing portion of an Adlib card I'm afraid...
It has some really clean and deep sound when it comes to Adlib in games. Though yeah, it has no real OPL-Chip.
Must be why Dynablaster is failing this card. Have to test other games like Monkey, Civ1 and Indy3.
Duke-2 runs great, with some serious bass response and a nice dept to the sound.
No crackling or low quality sound what so ever, when the card is running in Adlib mode.
The major downside, is that it is not real stereo. It's mono, using both right and left channel for the same sound.

The three sockets without any chips... would those fit the CMS/Gameblaster chips like a real SB does?
As far as I can understand, on different websites with fragment's of information on this card, this is indeed capable of CMS/Gameblaster.
Just need to get those chips. What would they cost by the way, and how/where to obtain them?
It has jumpers for enabling disabling chip's in these socket's, and the jumber is named something like "CMEN" (need to check)
Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....
