> I clarify it: The music syntesis (MIDI, FM) still works but sampling not.

Yes.

> And question: What about mainboards (chipsets) for AMD processors?

I don't know, I had never any AMD system so I don't care. Also I'm not sure if there was/is available detailed tech. docs about used chipsets, itel documetation is quite good and freely available for years... And all insustrial mobo with ISA that I seen used intel.

BTW I think that on modern mobo it would be very possible to emulate SB by SMI mode handler on onboard AC'97 or HDA (like used in AMD geode systems - VSA, it works very well and independently on CPU mode and installed OS) but there's no strong demand so nobody (BIOS writter) put effort to implement this. It' would not be easy task to modify and extend the SMI handler (lot of ASM work, maybe Japheth could do this :) and it is different for each mobo model. And It may require BIOS patching if SMI handler is locked after boot...

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
