Compatibility Report: Intel i430NX, Intergraph TD-30 (Dual Socket 5)

This board is very much an edge case, given that it has dual CPU mode, limited IRQs (due to the sheer number of onboard devices, this was not a cheap system), and an onboard Sound Blaster Vibra 16 competing with the classic IRQ 5/DMA 1 combo. This took a while, but once I gave the sound card DMA 3 properly everything began to work. Unfortunately "two jumpers for DMA 3" wasn't explained too well as I was thinking it worked like SCSI "add the number up" jumpers.

Anyways Duke Nukem 3d, Crystal Dream 2, Doom 1/2, and Xaos and Xaos 2 work just fine. The Windows 95 drivers reported an IRQ conflict with the onboard Vibra 16, but I will try to mess with that later to see if I can give it the right IRQ/DMA combo.
