I think the BIG STINK wasn't over the Triton III chipset but instead over the Cyrix P90+. This cpu IS MADE & SOLD although it was never intended as something an end-user buys, but strictly designed/marketed as a product offered to OEM's to put into their systems as an alternative to a P90. Usually they are available on a motherboard as a package if you do see them advertised; the biggest problem is the unusual bus/memory speed, I believe 40 or 45MHz instead of the more common 50, 60 & 66MHz associated with most Pentium/Cyrix/AMD K5 cpu's. If I'm not mistaken, I believe it runs at 40MHz x 2.
