Turtle Beach Maui
As per most of the Turtle Beach cards, the Maui is "only" a MIDI card (no Sound Blaster support for example).

Rich Heimlich said, "A solid choice for those wanting a Wave Blaster but not having a WB connector on their existing sound card. Easy to use, inexpensive, fast RAM sampling, but it's all tied to a below-average patch set". It uses the soundfonts from VoiceCrystal (same as those used by the TB Rio, TB Tropez+ and Aztech WaveRider 32).
Alternatively, the user manual states that you can use the Maui as a wavetable daughterboard by connecting its 26-pin header via a ribbon cable to the wavetable header on another sound card, and the Maui will be used for sampled sound instead of your other sound card's onboard samples.
The board uses a Motorola 68000 CPU coupled with an ICS2122 ROM chip, which is 2 MB in capacity.
To use it under DOS you need to run a TSR called SETUPSND.EXE.
