All serious motherboard manufacturers have a 'relationship'
with chip Manufacturers, so that there will be motherboards
working when the chips are released.  Chip developers
usually have prototype motherboards in their Lab, and the
Motherboard guys have prototype processors in THEIR Lab.
They have signed "Non-Disclosure Agreements" (NDA).
Everybody works frantically to get everything to work. I
have heard ABIT on the speakerphone with Cyrix/IBM. Lots
of questions, laughter, groans, and "OK, we'll try that and
get back to you this afternoon".  Everybody is happy when stuff
works.  (No, I don't know where Tom got his pre-release chips!).
