The major advantage that it has over previous OK. I just think somebody slipped a gear when they dropped support for parity. Parity has big system-integrity benefits not apparent in the "1 soft error every 10 years" arguments. Anyway, how about Neptune-based boards? Prices seem to be dropping right now, so anyone not needing the performance of the new Triton would be interested, even if they didn't care about parity. The leading Neptune-based MBoard makers right now are, I guess, (please correct me if I am wrong:) [Model numbers???] Board Id. EISA 100MHz E-IDE Fast-ATA /2?
