I recently bought a lot of LCs, which includes the MediaVision PAS16 sound card, in its LC PDS variation. The only problem is that the Macintosh versions of the PAS16, unlike the ISA PC version, does not have any audio jacks on the card itself. Instead, it has a DB-15 port that connects to a little breakout box, that provides various audio in and out jacks, as well as MIDI (and optionally a DB-15 Joystick port).
Counting the signals, I'm guessing it's not actually a very complicated device. Does anybody on the forums here happen to have the breakout board, and if so, be willing to open it up and see if we can work out the pinout of the DB-15 port on the card, as well as potentially a schematic for the box if it does have active components? This wouldn't just be helpful to me, but to others who might find one of these cards without the box as well. Any help is greatly appreciated!
EDIT: The port might actually be a three-row DB-26 connector, most pictures of these Mac cards online don't properly show the port. In that case, it adds to the theory that these breakout boxes are rather uncomplicated devices.
