Technical Advisories
1. Consult Certified Memory Vendors
for specific
memory chips that have passed Tyan Engineering
tests. Note: Silicon Tech memory can be obtained by
contacting Simple Technology, Inc.
2. DMA between PCI and AGP is unresolved on this
board. A PCI graphics adapter is required.
3. Install both SCSI host adapter and TARGA in
either +3.3V or +5.0V slots. Operating across these
two busses will severely impact performance. PCI
slots 1,2,3 and 6 are 64-bit 5.0V 33MHz slots. Slots
4 and 5 are 64-bit 3.3V 66MHz PCI slots.
