Geode in Wyse Winterms

The 2350 I believe was the original design from Wyse including water
cooling - I am serious about that - they have a huge aluminum plate on the
CPU with an aluminum pipe to another flange connected to a HUGE heatsink -
as a result I am not able to see which particular Geode it has in it, but,
it certainly has the Cyrix CX5530 companion as well as the NS PC97307
super-io chip, so therefore I guess it looks pretty much like the original
NS ref designs.

The 3360 was a bit more modern and that has the Geode GXLV-233B processor in
conjunction with the CX5530 and the NS PC97307 super-io (I believe
categorised in the GX1 family).

The only thing that worries me is that there are a few GAL's on the board
and I am just hoping that they have not played with the addressing too much.
It does have a plcc socketed NOR flash device (in both cases and ATMEL
AT29C020) and then also a Toshiba TC58V64FT NAND flash device (8Mbyte).

Both devices include 16Mb RAM on an SODIMM.

Any comment would be appreciated,

Regards

Hamish

 From what I recall they are pretty straighforward Geode designs that
weren't that different from some of the reference schematics.

There are some on eBay for $25. Pop the case open and see what Geode,
chipset and super I/O they have.
