OPL3 OPTi soundcard

Pulled an OPL3 off a OPTi soundcard, not sure of the model#. The OPTi chip is marked 82C924. The FCC sticker has a model # MF-009, FCC ID J98MF-009.

The DAC on the card is not an YAC512; this card has an LS512 which I think is a Philips chip. Does anyone have an info on this DAC, no love from Google. It appears to have the same footprint as the YAC, so I think it may be a drop-in replacement but I’m just guessing. I’m going to try it on my MB OPL3 brd along with a YAC.

Good luck! If all else fails, YAC512s are about $2 plus shipping on eBay.

Thanks! Yea I have a full set of YM/YACs plus another SB card to pull from :wink:  Guess I kind of like FM synths! But after I finish the MBFM I’m working on now I plan to put in some time on the MB6582 boards I got last fall and a Seq 4V and … So many projects, so little time.
