Well, you're still beating my chops, so your cpu must be good. ;-)

"avent" doesn't work because of "VESA error" (even with or without UNIVBE VESA 3.0, the card is a wimpy ATI Mach64 1 MB VRAM VESA 1.2) although that cpu (P166 32 MB RAM) doesn't have MMX, so maybe it wouldn't work anyways. If you really wanted to code up a sound-only example, I'd test it for you.

It's more-or-less SB compatible. I think the BIOS (AMI) initializes some of it, so typical .WAV (digital?) output works. But Adlib stuff (e.g. BioMenace music) won't work unless I load some official pseudo TSR drivers (CTCM, etc) because of PnP or whatever.
