Current problems

  • MA map type is set incorrectly for some types of DIMM. Patch available.
  • Mixing of memory widths appears to cause memory errors. The 256MB and 64MB DIMM from the table below show memory errors when installed together.
  • shutting down system does not turn off power.

MA Map Types

The values for MA map type refer to bits 15-13, 7-5, and 3-1 of offset 0x59-0x58 of the VT8601A host bridge. See the VT8601/PLE133 data sheet for details. All values other than 0xx and 100 are documented as "reserved (do not program)"


Values determined by testing various modules with the factory BIOS.
