This motherboard has a VIA onboard sound chip that has dos drivers for soubdblaster and OPL3 adlib. It even has a specific section in the bios for the legacy sound settings which is pretty cool. But how will it sound? 🤔
Giving Windows Me a whirl on this Pentium 3, let's see if it's as unstable as I remember 🤔
QDI Advance 6E - Pentium III - Socket 370 (this one has the ISA slot present, not always the case)
This has no AGP slot, but it's such a reliable solid motherboard, supports up to 1GB RAM and I have some great 32-bit PCI video cards.
If anyone in the I.T field in the UK has any corporate laptops being discarded because of Windows 11 requirements please either give me a shout to help them get to FreeITStafford or reach to

Naughties vibes up in here!
Playing with Windows Neptune (1999) today, I remember installing this all those years ago, when the MS Alpha/Beta scene was flying on IRC. How has it nearly been 30 years!?
This is super usable now, fast and totally customisable! 👍
Wondering if I can offload this to an external FireWire HDD 🤔
Doing some customising, the sound is now working and configuring Conky.
