The chip in the bottom left corner of the motherboard says:

  CMI 8330A
  FAT45
  9749
  AUDIO HOST

and it doesn't remember soldering it there, so I assume it's the one that came
with the MediaGX... (the BIOS boot screen says "MediaGX-S CPU" so at least
there's one part I'm not hallucinating)

There aren't any other soundcards in the box, so that thing must be working
under the 2.2.14 sb driver
