Pentium MMX 166 MHz
Gigabyte 586HX (early Revision) with Intel 430HX Chipset
128 MB PS2/SIMM 2*32+4*16 all L2 cached (12 Bit TAG RAM)
Elsa Victory Erazor Riva128 4MB
Voodoo2 12MB
HighPoint 372N UDMA Controller
Realtek 8139C 100 MBit
SB32 PnP with 8 MB SIMM Wavetable (This is a AWE without the 512 KB RAM onboard)
Guillemot Maxi Sound 64 Home Studio with 16MB Wavetable RAM
GUS Classic with 1 MB

although 2 soundcards use PnP I got all 3 to work in DOS. That is not as easy as the Maxi Sound utilizes an additional Crystal 4232 and the Dream9407.
As OS I have installed FreeDOS, one configuration with MS LAN Manager to access the Windows Network Shares from DOS. (this is on a 1.2 GB Quantum Fireball) and also Arachne. The Riva128 has a VBE 3.0 compatible BIOS.

On the second HDD I installed Win 98SE and on the third Win NT4 (for all the more modern things). Under Win98SE I didn't installed the driver for the GUS cause I don't need them. Under NT4 there is no GUS support, except for MOD4WIN that uses a direct hack...

Very nice, especially the cached RAM and the soundcards 😁
And you're right, a GUS doesn't offer anything special under Windows, since there are almost no Windows programs using the GF1 features.
