This card is particularly interesting because it has slots for CMS chips for Creative Music System / Game Blaster music (12 square wave voices per channel, 2 channels for stereo sound). I've inserted them in the picture above. More pictures in the spoiler below: OK never mind I don't know how to use spoilers on here!
Anyway it into my 386 PC which has an AT PSU (these cards need a -5v rail) and it has a rather lovely sound (in my opinion). Not technically as good as FM Synthesis as it is just square waves but I still think I prefer it. Here are some dropbox links to sound recordings I made
