<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Overview ==<br /> The '''Deskstation Tyne''' is a [[1994]] vintage system based on a Pentium chipset and some glue logic that interfaces it to a [[R4600|QED R4600]] processor. The board has a somewhat bizarre DMA architecture where only a 512kB DMA buffer RAM was DMA accessible to the PC chipset; this DMA buffer is accessible at some high address in the main processor's address space. The board has 1 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_Local_Bus VLB] slot and 4 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industry_Standard_Architecture ISA] slots.<br /> <br /> == Linux Support ==<br /> A Tyne board was the system that [[1994]] the Linux/MIPS port was started on. Due to memory corruption on the board development was switched over to an [[Jazz|Acer PICA]] system in early [[1995]]. By that time Linux wasn't functional yet and the little support there was for it was bitrotting away, so the code eventually was removed.</div>
