Sorry, you're right: I meant: 'a chip which somewhat resembles a GF1
chip'. It can do 32 voices @ 33Khz, so it is somewhat better. The chip 
is called the 'ICS 2115' if I am not mistaken, but this doesn't matter 
since the MC68000 controls the ICS chip, not the OS. The OS only
controls the MC68000.

And I've got some GUS Classic clone too, which is definately a noname
chip, since it says _on the print itself_: 'GUS compatible'. No
brand. No further explanation. But it still works like a charm, except 
for the fact that my floppy drive fails when I insert this GUS Classic 
Clone into my P133 :(
