List of motherboards with SB-link (PC/PCI) header

[Razor655]

These boards also have SB-Link:
Chaintech 6BDU
Chaintech 6BTS
Chaintech 6BTA3
Chaintech 6BTA2
Chaintech 6BTA
Chaintech 6BTM

Chaintech 6BTM0 board. Soft Menu (It is not perfect, but....), 3x ISA, SB-Link, Tualatin unofficial support, but works fine.Really good board.

Yeah, 6BTM is one of the best boards for Slot1. It has anything I need (4 DIMM, 3 ISA, Soft menu, USB legacy support for DOS, old good AWARD bios (my fetish ) with many tunables and it's fast!
The only downside is average reliability. Much people complain about damaged fan controller. Personally I'm not affected by this: I connect fans to DC regulator which connected directly to PSU with molex.

Abit AB-BM6 (also 440BX motherboard) seems to have SB-LINK too. This was first time I actually looked after what it is. Seems that I haven't missed too much not knowing.

I have gigabyte GA-6BXD and it has SB-LINK support. ISA slots too so...

Perhaps my M6VBE has an integreated sb-link feature with the Solo1?

Does anyone know what does "TEST" header do on Epox 8NPA7I? It is located near ALC655 codec and is arranged like SB-Link. Would it be possible for such modern-ish board with nForce 4 to have SB-Link connector? nForce 4 does not have Windows 98 support, so it's usefulness would be limited. A lot of Epoxes from this period have this connector.

I don't know what is it but it can not be SB-Link. No doubt. nF4 never supported PCI Legacy DMA in any format.

MSI MS-6168 ver 2 (440ZX, micro ATX) has solder pads for SB-Link, also QDI Legend VI (440LX, Baby AT) has an SB-Link connector

So, after buying SIX different broken motherboards (the final one being repairable by salvaging a SOT-23 chip from a different broken board), I can finally confirm that the ECS L7VMM2 1.0a motherboard does NOT have pc/pci support. The port on that version only provides Serial IRQ.

Still looking for a working L7VMM 1.1 where it has PC_PCI marked on the port.

If i remember correctly, none of the nforces supported PCI Legacy DMA at all, even the older nforce 1/2 chipsets for Athlon XP

something about NMI not working properly on the nforce chipset. I tried for a whole weekend to get it working for the SB Live only to discover the bad news that i was wasting my time - won't work in DOS and windows too.

Found a manual where it says the port is NOT PC_PCI.
It's PC_PC1. Once again, serial IRQ only. The DMA GNT/REQ lines are not hooked up from the southbridge.

There is still hope that the Shuttle MK32 might have real PC/PCI.
