Een mannetje van Lost Circuits heeft een vroege Alpha versie van het Tyan S2380 KX 133 moederbord op de kop weten te tikken, waarvan hier de review te vinden is. In de retail versie zal het AMR slot omgeruild worden voor een ISA slot wat voor velen toch vrij handig zal zijn. Onboard audio kan als optie erbij genomen worden. Hieronder wat meer info:
There is not much to say about those at present, simply because, as stated earlier, the board tested was a very early alpha revision, without documentation, manual or drivers. We do know that the layout of the board will be changed substantially in the production version. In addition the BIOS will be tuned and debugged to take care of some glitches.Changes for the final revision will include the obliteration of the AMR slot in favor of a good old-fashioned ISA slot (bravo for that one), in addition the jumper battery next to the DIMM slots will disappear. The jumper for disabling AMR sound was already gone in the revision we had.
The final production version will still maintain a 6 / 1 / 1 (PCI / ISA / AGP) layout. In addition, there are debates of whether the onboard sound will survive or be offered as optional feature.
There are a few things that will not undergo substantial changes. Primarily the capacitor configuration should not be changed. It may be overkill to have two 2200 µF caps next to eight 1500 µF Low ESR capacitors flanking the Slot A and in addition run six I.Q. 1500 µF caps to buffer the voltage generators. Add no less than nineteen 1000 µF Sanyo caps and for EMF suppression a total of two 100 µF YJ, one 25 µF and seventeen 10 µF capacitors and you have the cleanest power factory on the planet.
