PC Stats has posted a review on the Tyan Trinity KT-A Motherboard



Even with the stability problems I experienced, there are a few general conclusions about the board we can draw. First, the general layout of the KT-A is pretty good, the IDE and floppy drive connectors are exactly where you'd want them to be and the ATX power plug is at the top of the board and isn't going to obstruct air flow (this I like a lot).

I also like the relative small size of the KT-A's PCB. Its performance is on par with other KT133A boards that I've worked with in the past, and thanks to it's lack of extra features, the Tyan KT-A should be one of the cheapest boards around. Also, if the KT-A is even close to it's brethren in terms of reliability, it would easily rival its competitors best efforts. While this isn't something we normally comment on, I feel I must say that the instruction manual Tyan pack with this motherboard is very well done. Granted, most of us don't spend too much time reading a motherboard's instruction manual, but in this case it was nice to see a very well layed out manual full of coherent explainations (that even the first time user could understand).
