- Music Card
- hardware audio decoder card based on the VLSI VS1063 chip
- playback of MP2, MP3, WMA, OGG, LC-AAC, HE-AAC, FLAC, ALAC, IMA ADPCM, G.711 u-law, G.711 a-law, G.722 and WAV PCM
- sampling rate up to 48 kHz
- supports 16 bit audio
- decoding is done on the card, so the CPU stays free for other tasks
- dual interface: Zorro II slot or clock port
- when installed in a Zorro II slot, the clock port can be used for compatible add-on cards
- in desktop A1200s, the board must be electrically insulated against the metal shielding, keyboard metal underside and floppy drive
- Paula pass-through
- output of the Amiga audio throught the expansion
- mixing is done in hardware, no software needed
- requires an optional Y cable with dual RCA plug to stereo 3.5 mm jack, needs to be plugged into one of the audio inputs
- audio backplate module provides each 4× 3.5mm stereo jack connectors, 2 audio outputs (left side) and 2 inputs (right side)
- individual brackets for the audio backplate available, for big box Amigas (Zorro slot bracket) or for the A1200 trapdoor slot underneath the floppy drive
- an optional S/PDIF expansion module was planned but never realised
- plugs into the 6 pin expansion header on the board
- activates the CDDA header present on the board
- MHI driver
