There's probably always one, and I'm him. Tyan screwed me over
when I bought one of their dual boards, early on. The D1563 I
think it is. Their own bios image for this board doesn't work
with the one I have -- makes the machine unbootable. So I'm
stuck continuing on with an old BIOS image that can't do a bunch
of stuff I need.
The floppy has never worked very well, either. I've tried more
than two separate floppy drives in the machine, and keep getting
DMA errors.
