Due to the way the PCI bus works, PCI-based machines have a limited number of slots to work with, with the exact slot count varying from one machine to the other. In previous versions of 86Box, running out of PCI slots (often an issue with Voodoo 2 SLI setups) resulted in a silent failure; no error message would be shown, and any cards that didn't "fit" simply wouldn't work.
[**richardg867**](https://github.com/richardg867) worked around this limitation by implementing emulation of the **DEC 21150** PCI-PCI bridge. This bridge takes up a single PCI slot and provides 9 more slots; it is automatically deployed whenever the emulated machine runs out of available PCI slots, and works without any additional drivers or setup on the operating system side, although some devices may not work correctly under a bridge, such as the game port built into the Ensoniq AudioPCI sound card on Windows.

This is the March 2022 update to 86Box, bringing overall bugfixes and some new hardware. As always, you can [download 86Box v3.3 from GitHub](https://github.com/86Box/86Box/releases/tag/v3.3).
This release also brings a **major change to the Windows version**: it now uses the same Qt user interface as the Linux and (future - don't worry, we're still working on it) macOS versions. As previously stated in the [v3.2 post]({% post_url 86box-v3-2 %}#now-with-linux), this new interface should look and feel just like the old Windows one, though there are some minor changes.
