I need to replace my MS6178 Motherboard - are they still available new
- or can you sugest a compatible relacement? It's an ex Tiny Machine.

Thanks

IIRC it is a i810 based mobo, often hit by the dreaded Chinese Cap

Plague. Any i810 based mobo should do the trick, it has nothing special
worth mentioning. My guess is that you won't find them on the shelves of
any self-respecting computer shop. If I had to, I'd grab a used one from
ebay or whatever you have in your country. Should cost a couple of
euros, but as said, the cap plague probably hits the replacement as
well. But if I had a choice, I'd replace it with a i815 mobo by Intel.
That should run any CPU you might have on the i810 one and it would also
support (well, most of them do, anyway, YMMV) AGP to throw in a better
vidcard.
