Pine Technology

Pine Technology Holdings was founded in 1989, producing hardware products for the PC market. Based in Hong Kong and with manufacturing facilities in China, they focused on graphics cards, sound cards, multi I/O cards, network cards and even produced some motherboards.

Their products tended to be low-budget offerings, sold mostly to OEMs and bespoke system builders.

Under the holding company were brands including Samtack in Canada and Pine Technology USA.

Sound Cards

PT-201     

Introduced: 1995
Bus: 16-bit ISA
Chipset: ESS Technology ES688F
Plug & Play: No
FCC ID: -

The PT-201 was a 16-bit ISA sound card based on ESS' ES688F audio controller chip. It was ESS Technologies' last card to still require coupling with an external Yamaha OPL3 chip (instead of their own flavour called ESFM which they embedded into the ES1488 and later) or a clone of it. You can get a lot more information on the ES688 on my dedicated ESS page, but it's basically a highly integrated IC comprising a microprocessor, bus controller, MPU-401 interface, 5-channel mixer and DAC (Digital-to-Analogue Converter).

The oddly-named DXP44Q to the left on this card is believed to be a clone of the Yamaha OPL3 with a built-in YAC512 clone, which is its DAC.

The Pine PT-201 came with a wavetable header, though this requires a software driver to be loaded for the required MPU-401 emulation to work (ENMPU.EXE - see the ESS page to download).

Note the absence of a game/MIDI port on the backplate (something rare for an ISA sound card, but it does mean this card is compact and able to fit in low-profile cases) - in order to connect a joystick or external MIDI device to this card, you need to connect a game port flying lead to the header in the top-left of the card - if you're like me, you might have a backplate comprising of a game port and serial port with the requisite 15/16-pin game port and the 9- or 25-pin serial ribbon cables.

The good news is that for such a low-budget card, it does come with a Line-Out jack, circumventing the onboard amplifier, so if you have an external amp, using this will provide the best quality output. The Texas Instruments LM1877 on the card is the aforementioned onboard amplifier, offering 2 watts per channel.

The card is not Plug & Play, so all configuration is done through the card's jumpers, as follows:

JP1/JP2 Base Address (jumpers oriented horizontally) 220h: JP1 = 2-3, JP2 = 2-3
230h: JP1 = 2-3, JP2 = 1-2
240h: JP1 = 1-2, JP2 = 2-3
250h: JP1 = 1-2, JP2 = 1-2
JP3 IRQ (jumpers oriented vertically, with 1 and 2 to the left, and 3 and 4 to the right) IRQ5: 1 and 2 open, 3 and 4 closed
IRQ7: 1 and 2 closed, 3 and 4 open
IRQ9: 1 and 2 open, 3 and 4 open
IRQ10: 1 and 2 closed, 3 and 4 closed
JP4 DMA Channel None: 1 and 2 open, 3 and 4 open
DMA0: 1 and 2 open, 3 and 4 closed
DMA1: 1 and 2 closed, 3 and 4 open
DMA3: 1 and 2 closed, 3 and 4 closed
JP5 Joystick enable/disable Enabled: closed
Disabled: open

The backplate's four jacks (from top to bottom with the card vertically installed) are: Mic-In, Line-In, Line-Out, Speaker-Out.

Vivaldi Wavetable Daughterboard (PT-202)

Introduced: 1995
Chipset: Samsung KS0164
ROM Size: 1 MB
Interface: Wave Blaster
Plug & Play: Yes
FCC ID: -

The Pine Vivaldi Wavetable Upgrade, as it was known, would have been the de-facto choice (in Pine's opinion, at least) for owners of cards like their PT-201, for wavetable synthesis capability. This provided General MIDI support in games when connected to any sound card with a Wave Blaster header.

Sadly, the Samsung OmniWave KS0164 which this uses isn't that great. Sure, for a budget wavetable offering, it will likely sound amazing compared to FM synthesis in your DOS games, but there are [and were] much better options, even in 1995. Apparently the KS0164 provides a subset of "intelligent mode" commands of the MPU-401 interface, which was something earlier games required, though this is most likely only a benefit if the KS0164 is used in a different scenario to wavetable daughterboards like this. The MPU-401 interface on your sound card is much more the critical component when looking for whether or not it supports intelligent mode (very rare) - most are UART-only.
