Any updates? I just buy 9719VG2AR last a few days ago and I found out AWE64 cannot run properly on this motherboard 🙁 There are so many SoundCard project right here but I think your project just fit with this motherboard because you're owner of this board 😀

21c SCSI hdds usually used in Server machines, so that loud sounds doesn't concerned. I think 15k RPM SCSI hdds even more and more loud 🙁

ebay's cheap PCI LAN card also have win9x drivers. But you should check win98 anti-virus or not access Internet with that.

If you want to make XP game machine, than I think core 2 duo (E8600) works and has less problem with drivers. (or chipset drivers etc)

Why don't you use SCSI? if you already have lots of IDE hdds, I can go down. But if you setting new computer environment, I recommend the SCSI interface for old multiple hard disk systems . There are so many cheap SCSI interface cards and SCSI hdds these days, works perfectly on MS-DOS.

I bought Pentium 4 Cedar mill last few months ago, which is intel's last mainstream single core unit. windows 98 compatibility ends with ICH5 (officially), so I struggle to find i865PE + ICH5R with ISA motherboard. Probably some industrial motherboard is answer.

Quite old thread but I feel some of responsibility... Today I found that WF192D (with YMF724) emulates SB Pro, not SB16. and has only 8-bit DMA even PC/PCI works... I think it's time to search real ISA board, not PC/PCI soundcard. Thanks.
