Some perhaps-useful information... According to scuttlebutt, the 'brains' have left Soyo and are now working as/for Soltek. Against my better judgment (and because we were desperate for a new board today), we bit for one of their VX-based boards. The board looks very similar, style-wise, to a Soyo, although perhaps a bit neater. It's also a sub-baby-AT footprint. 256K PB onboard, 4xPCI, 4xISA, etc. SDRAM socket available as an option, COAST socket for more cache, &c &c. Basically, "everything works"; it worlds OK (though with a P120 on it, not in record time), and talks to our ISA card as needed. It also feels a shade snappier than the FX-based board it replaces (though this may be 'new broom' syndrome). The part number : SL-52B2, cost ~AUD$150.- ex. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) <STOLEN> [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-8267-3493 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
