FYI, Tyan pretty regularly makes crappy "consumer" level motherboards.
Their K7 boards are no exception - if you want a good K7 board, your best
bet is ASUS, or possibly Abit, not Tyan.  If you're looking for a good SMP
motherboard, they're pretty decent, but otherwise, avoid 'em.

Subject: [TCLUG:19376] Tyan K7 boards?

        people on the list have said good things about Tyan mobos, and
I see that they have a K7 board now.
http://www.tyan.com/products/html/trinityk7.html

how well-supported are the IDE controller and sound chipset under
Linux? I see that it comes with a 'driver disk'; which immediately
makes me suspicious (since they probably aren't anything but Windows
drivers...)

I'm not necessarily going to run Linux on one of these things (I'm
actually looking for a win98 setup here at work); but I'd like to look
at the possibility down the road.
