I am using a Tyan S1571S board, which is based on the 430TX, with both FreeBSD 2.2.6-RELEASE and 3.0-CURRENT. It works fine. If you have IDE disks, 3.0-CURRENT will support the built-in Ultra DMA 33 support on the 430TX's IDE channels. The only problem with the 430TX is that it WILL NOT cache memory above the 64 MB boundary. Whether or not this will hurt your performance, really depends on how you use your machine. For me, I could care less. --- Donald Burr <dburr@pobox.com> - Ask me for my PGP key | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ #1347455 | right to Address: P.O.
