I've just noticed that i've been confusing their board names. The P55T2P4 is what i'm using, and i think mine has got a Winbond chip. I haven't noticed any weirdness with it yet, but neither do i run a floppy tape on it. The board with the UMC8669F was the P55TP4N. I'm not even sure whether all of them were shipping with the UMC chip, or whether they've later noticed that brokeness. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
