The P3B-F v1.04 is the only 440BX motherboard I have. I'd like to use it as a sound card test platform, so I need to install SB-Link header. It seems that apart from 5-pin header, some resistors or capacitors are also needed. So, how can I install SB-Link header and related components on this motherboard? Thanks for your help.

Everything SB-Link does can be done in software. At least when it comes to 440BX platform. So it's kinda redundant.

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

I'd like to test AWE64D, which is only DOS-compatible when using SB-Link.
