1-5 SB-LINK Sideband Signals (JP3)
In order to migrate the legacy Sound Blaster compatible audio to the PCI bus,
EMU8008 incorporates a pair of SB-Link request/grant sideband signals (PCPCIR
EQ#A and PCPCISIRQ) to interface to the PCI bus. SB-Link is a mechanism that was
defined and developed by Creative as a docking solution which allows ISA slots to
exist in docking stations connected to desktop PC PCI bus.
