The ISA OPL2 Card is based on Yamaha OPL2 chip, officially known as YM3812. This card is compatible with the AdLib Music Synthesizer that was very popular in late 80's - early 90's. Most older games support Adlib out of the box and no drivers or environment settings required to get this card up and running. Assemble it, plug it in and it just works!
