Just a little wednesday video to demonstrate the yamaha opl-core of the Aztech AZT2320 audio-ic. The MMPro III was a late 90s 16bit ISA PnP soundcard that was manufactured for many OEMs, Fujitsu in this case as mentioned by the decal. The AZT2320 was developed in cooperation with Yamaha, and thats why there is a genuine Yamaha OPL3-FM core inside, fully backward compatible with OPL2, better known as the Adlib-standard.
Aztech-cardss with the AZT2320 are relatively good available and inexpensive, often seen on these triangular-shaped cards. Installation is esay as Adlib on Port 388 works instantly fine without any drivers installation. For Soundblaster Pro compatibility (wave) you need a little initialization tool and a mixer tool if you like to adjust the settings - both can be find on the famous vogons drivers library or on places like driverguide. Noise-Level is extremely low and line-output is great. Some cards like this comes with an amplifiying cirquit that can be used to drive headphones or little passive speakers. For my records i use the line outut.


My testbench-setup for this record: Siemens PII BX mainboard with a Pentium II 233Mhz clocked at 133Mhz, 1st and 2nd level cache disabled with setmul to slowdown the machine to a 386/486 level.

Recorded via line-out with the Behringer UCA202 external soundcard on an an Acer Laptop running Windows 7 and Audacity.
