The CS4280 and CS4281 are PCI audio chips with legacy DOS compatibility via both PC/PCI, Distributed DMA and what Crystal called "CrystalClear Legacy Support" (CCLS). They have an integrated FM synthesizer, hardware volume control, an MPU-401 interface, zoom video port and game port. They both require an external codec.
The CS4280 is pin-compatible with the earlier CS4614, CS4622/CS4624, and is usually coupled with the Crystal CS4297 audio codec.
CS4280 is found on the JoyTech Twister 3D sound card as well as the Pine Technology PT2620.
