I believe there are separate drivers for Win95 that came on the CD that came
with the motherboard. If the user does not have this disk I will be glad to
provide them to you, (email me, [log in to unmask])  Usually the 8330 goes
into SB compatible mode, and works very tamely.  There is also a jumper on
the board to disable the sound in case of ultimate failure/frustration.  (It
sits right next to the ribbon card connector I believe, JP5?)
