Hi all,

Finally I put my hands on an ATX socket 7 (maybe even super 7) motherboard and planning to start my second (and better) pantium mmx class build.

The thing that pisses me off at the moment is not being able to find a manual for the motherboard. Tyan web site still kindly have the manuals for most of their legacy motherboards, but the one they called Trinity ATX is not S1592S but S1598, and clearly a different board. and of course nothing available for a S1592S (though there is a couple of trouble shooting tips for it in their FAQ section).

Google search also was not very fruitfull. Does anyone happen to have a manual for this, or direct me to the correct direction to find one?

Thanks and best regards,

Seems it's been a problem for a while...

It isn't the manual, but did you see this page?
http://www.tyan.com/archive/products/html/tri … ityatx1592.html

This one has some jumper settings:
http://www.tyan.com/archive/support/html/m_tr_atx_add.html

Looks like this is the FTP directory where their manuals are, but I didn't see any filenames that look like the S1592.
ftp://ftp.tyan.com/manuals/

Internet Archive (archive.org) can be useful for stuff like this, as long as you have URLs to search for. Fortunately, Tyan doesn't change their site much, so you can use the current URLs to search for old versions.
I tried searching archive.org for the ftp.tyan.com/manuals FTP directory, but they had nothing. Then it offered this:
http://web.archive.org/web/form-submit.jsp?ty … //ftp.tyan.com/
which shows everything they have archived from the FTP site. Filtering that with 'S1592' brings up a manageable list of files. Still didn't see a manual though.

I'm starting to think Tyan never posted the manual on their web site, ever:
http://web.archive.org/web/19980516173250/htt … ody_s1592s.html
"Manual not yet available" - That's from May 1998. 3 versions say the same thing. The 4th wouldn't load.

Much nicer board picture:

Adaptec 2940UW issue with Win98 unless 2 BIOS options set as shown. I love how they issue this with the advisory "refer to your user's manual" but still didn't care to post said manual online.

I think somebody forgot to post your manual. 16 years ago.
