Hello Heiner, Thanks for sharing this with us. That stuff is pretty new [max 3 months] (I havent seen it yet). Does this HTX-Pro bridge thing work specifically with Iwill MBs or are you aware of similar solutions for other makers f.e Tyans S4882 ? I am very interested to hear a bit more about this, also offline would be fine to keep the list clean - not sure if anybody is interested ;-) May I ask what you use such a beast for ;-) ??
