Unique Slot 1 motherboard: Creative Blaster Board M003

What an exceptional Slot 1 motherboard! This particular board emerged from a partnership between EMPAC and Creative Technology/Creative Labs. It features a SoundBlaster Live audio solution! Unfortunately, this board does not POST, possibly due to a few severed traces. This isn’t entirely surprising, considering it was found among a heap of other hardware at a scrapyard!
