It's sure, the OPL3 is capable of using 4 operators for a sound (I have
a lot of books on PC soundcards). And it's sure, it has 2x6 voices (in
stereo) in 4-operator mode. Not all voices are true 4 operators, only
half of them (3x 4op and 3x 2op)

I only have an SB-Pro comp OPTi soundcard (besides the GUS PnP :-)), it
has a small Yamaha chip. It's sure, it's an OPL3, but it's numbered YMF
262-M.

Who knows if Yamaha has some docs on the NET concerning the OPL's; as
you said your card has 8 x 4 ops voices in mono, then I'd doubt if it's
an OPL3. But who knows if it has some parts of the other Yamaha FM chip
designs?
