I suspect this would need a DOS driver but no one made it. I have no toslink on YMF: one card has coaxial, the other has no digital out.

Cards supported 3V up to GF5, and some Chinese GF6. With i815 and hence P3 to use higher model is doubtful and you may significantly ruin the compatibility. With P3 probably is better to use GF3 as max, as later cards have worse compatibility with DX7 and maybe earler games. To use Tualatin instead of P3 also has higher compatibility risks with DOS apps, as the min its dowclocking is P3 700 what is far from P2 level.
To discuss CPU/video for Win9x machine is better in other thread.
is there somewhere a list of all known motherboards with SB-link headers?
There is a short thread.
