Comments:: These Yamaha chipsets provide basic support for FM synthesis (OPL2, OPL3, and OPL4) and wavetable (OPL4) to many boards. OS/2 drivers usually aren't needed to access these chips; rather, other chipsets interface between the OS and the OPL2/3/4 chips. The OPL3, in particular, is extremely common in other products. There are apparently some new drivers to allow access to these chips on boards that don't have more explicit OS/2 support. I've received one report of success from somebody using these drivers in combination with OS/2's AD1848 drivers with a generic board.
