This site relates to the JT-586SV4 mainboard. There is little or few known about this mainboard. Often when trying to retrieve the manufacturers name Joss Technology is called. Unfortunatly trying standard websites like www.josstechnology.com, www.josstechnology.com.tw or www.joss-technology.com doesn't work. The first will lead you to an existing website of a German company, that has nothing to do with mainboards. They do have an e-mail adress on their site, to which you could e-mail for support, but I haven't had any reaction sofar from that. The other two website's just don't exist. This mainboard has been produced in aproximately 1996 or 19997 when the Pentium was in it's middle age as I would put it. The mainboard supports Pentiums with speeds rangin from 75 to 200 (no MMX!). This mainboard also supports a Pentium clones like the Cyrix 6x86 and the AMD K5. Most of the information presented here is derived from the original manual and of course my own experience's with several of these mainboards.

Specifications:

• See original manual for now

Problems:

• Lousy manual.
• Crapy all-in-one-as-cheap-as-can-be-mainboard
• Worst part of this board is definetly the onboard video. When that gives up, you must get a new mainboard. Happend 3 times to me al ready, and I have 12 of these mainboards. So that's 25% failure!
• Manufacturer not known. Wim's BIOS-Page lists this board as a Joss Technology product.  There is little or few known about this mainboard. Often when trying to retrieve the manufacturers information I get lost somewhere in Taiwan. Last thing I heard was that Joss Technology doesn't excist anymore. Direct mail to the manufacturer isn't possible, although the website of the German company (see above) list the adress souppy@idirect.com as support adress.

Why did I create this page ?

Because of my work I need to know everything about a mainboard. Since the manual left many questions I decided to surf the internet. Until recently I never found a site mentioning this board. While surfing I found that there were many 'unofficial' site's, describing just the things I was looking for.  This gave me the idea to set up an identical site for this and in the future many other unknown motherboards.
