If you're not sure about the southbridge version you have, open the .zip file i gave and launch "PCI.EXE". Search for the VIA AC'97 Audio device, it will tell you exactly what it is !

Ok, on the Futro S220, its a VT8233, it won't work ! Remember it only works on VT82C686A/686B/VT8231 southbridges !

Ok i did it ! It works on my system. You can try on yours ! http://jegeek.net/telechargements/pciset.zip Just launch sbpro.bat and voila ! ps : I did code the device id of my VIA AC Audio 97 device of my system, which is a 82C686B. I think it should be the same on other machines, but still we have …

Page 40 of the datasheet we can see some registers dedicated to sb pro emulation : https://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/84906/ETC/VT8231.html Maybe that's the way to look at it for enabling it by sofware. Found it ! Look at page 111 ! Function Enable RO 0 Sound Blaster Enable (0 Disable, …

If we can find what does exactly the bios when activating the "SB enabled" flag, it will be very simple to write a software to do that. Maybe some disassemble of the bios code wil do 😉

I wish there were a way to enable the BIOS SB options on the Fujitsu S220/S300, AFAIK it has the same southbridge. That would solve the soundcard problem. But it has a custom BIOS I've never seen before... Do you have any ideas on that? Hi ! I wish too ;) Turning this option in the bios just …

Great, thanks for your reply, because i was willing to equip myself with the same motherboard !

This is confirmed by the datasheet (page 54) : https://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/v … ETC/VT8231.html

Hi everyone ! I'm the owner of a old thin client using a Via 82T686B south bridge, a very common one for old cpus like Via C3. It has a sound blaster pro compatibility included, that still need to be activated in the bios (disabled by default). Its running almost fine, sound blaster wave effects are …

Hi ! The power stage inside the SR220 is just about 5V, nothing else. You can try to use some small electronics cards that uses 5V and makes +12V, -12V, but it is a bit complicated just for using a card ;) This type for example, a "step up" card : https://www.ebay.fr/itm/5A-DC-DC-step-up-power- …

Hi everyone ! Hope you're going fine. I'm pretty new here, and old Msdos user trying to settle new machines based on cheap thin clients like the Fujitsu Futro s220 that you can find on Ebay for $30 for example. I wanted to share my discovery here, because i didn't find any infos like there : After …
