It was used in Boards from around the late 90's.
The Boards that I have equipped with SB-Link or Pc/Pci as it is also called are:

Intel VC820,and Epox MVP3-C.

Boards from around 97/99.

And yes. There's not much info around, regarding the SB-Link technology.
Most that I have found, is located here on Vogons.
And only information that people have been asking for.
I guess Creative meant it well when they released it, yet no one seems to
Have cared for it at that time. I guess it was released when Dos "died".
In favor of Winfows98/2000/XP. Which actually sucks, because we lack info.

The Asus P3B-F (440BX) definitely has the SB Link connector.

Hello,

I was wondering the other day, what sort of mainboards came equipped with the SB-Link connector?

What was the last type of boards released with it? I'm guessing something along the lines of Socket A / 370, but google fails to provide proper information.

EDIT: http://www.bare-bone.com/p4ba/eindex.htm

This is a socket 478 board with SBLINK....

Cheers,
Eric

Some Socket 370 boards from Abit and QDI have them on Intel and Via chipsets. Also, some Super Socket 7 boards from Epox have them too.

It seems the SB-Link connector was most prevalent on Slot 1 440BX boards. However, this is the first time I've seen one on a Socket 478 board, and if anything, the SB-Link connector makes more sense on this type of board without ISA slots. Whilst a nice feature on Slot 1, SS7 and S370 boards, these boards also have ISA slots, making the feature somewhat redundant.

My GA-6BXC(Slot 1) have SB-Link too.

Same for the P2B-S (and possibly every other version of the P2B)

It was Creative themselves who obsoleted the connector. Only one of their cards used it (AWE64 PCI) before they bought Ensoniq and acquired their DOS sound card emulation software.
