(i815 doesn't do ISA)

This is an i810 motherboard, and there are several motherboards using this chipset that have ISA slots. That said, this board doesn't look like one of them, and I'm not sure if it even provides SB-Link.

Gigabyte GA-8I915P Duo Pro | P4 530J | GF 6600 | 2GiB | 120G HDD | 2k/Vista/10/Debian
MSI MS-5169 | K6-2/350 | TNT2 M64 | 384MiB | 120G HDD | DR-/MS-DOS/NT/2k/XP/Gentoo
Dell Precision M6400 | C2D T9600 | FX 2700M | 16GiB | 128G SSD | 2k/Vista/11/Gentoo

There is no SB-Link on that motherboard; no connector or even unpopulated solder points on the PCB. Already combed through its photo and manual on TRW.
