The 2350 I believe was the original design from Wyse including water cooling - I am serious about that - they have a huge aluminum plate on the CPU with an aluminum pipe to another flange connected to a HUGE heatsink - as a result I am not able to see which particular Geode it has in it, but, it certainly has the Cyrix CX5530 companion as well as the NS PC97307 super-io chip, so therefore I guess it looks pretty much like the original NS ref designs.
The 3360 was a bit more modern and that has the Geode GXLV-233B processor in conjunction with the CX5530 and the NS PC97307 super-io (I believe categorised in the GX1 family).
The only thing that worries me is that there are a few GAL's on the board and I am just hoping that they have not played with the addressing too much. It does have a plcc socketed NOR flash device (in both cases and ATMEL AT29C020) and then also a Toshiba TC58V64FT NAND flash device (8Mbyte).
Both devices include 16Mb RAM on an SODIMM.
Any comment would be appreciated,
The only problem with the Geodes was getting sound up since they use VSA (virtual system arch.) rather than actual hardware. Power management info. was also not released from NSC. Anyone know the status on this? Anyone ever get the VSA ROM to work with LinuxBIOS?
