Hi!

Boards with PCI, AGP and ISA at the same time were cool :-)
Includes boards for Pentium III and AMD K6, quite okay...

- ForteMedia FM801 chipset has native Adlib and tries to be
  hardware SB compatible which works only on older mainboards
  while the Adlib part of it still works on newest boards :-D

- CMedia CM8738 tries to be hardware SB compatible, too, but
  is more pain with compatibility / drivers if you ask me ;-)

- SBPCI and SBLive! come with a SOFTWARE driver which simulates
  a SB soundcard. Sounds quite okay but works only for games
  which are EMM386 compatible...

- you can use Dosemu in Linux to have full CPU speed but still
  have a simulated soundcard (sound output via any Linux driver)

- you can use any virtual computer to run DOS in Windows or Linux
  with a simulated soundcard but this is slow and uses much CPU

- you can try the VSB virtual sound blaster, output to printer
  port or internal speaker as far as I remember - SB 1.0 or so?

PS: All three cards also support AC97 natively, but I do not know
which of them are for example DOS MPXPLAY native AC97 compatible.
