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 good and FM software emulation is nice, not perfect, but still its okay on main situations. its a nice machine for MS-DOS gaming, and very cheap.
My question was about the last version of this southbridge, the VT8231, which still have this sound blaster pro compatibility according to the official drivers :

(many sources point at this)
But i don't have right now a pc or thin client using this chip, does someone here has one and can test this ? thanks !
Best regards
