VPSD division of VIA Company (VIA Platform Solutions Division), dealing with outsourcing and selling of mainboards, based on its own chips, has announced the beginning of supply of VIA 2580E board , which is a 4-port USB 2.0 controller. Of course, the board is based on a recently released VT6202 chip and is installed into an empty PCI-slot.
Neither the manufacturer nor the price of the board are mentioned. However VIA always has several Taiwan first- and second-tier representatives at its disposal (for example, ECS or Soltek), who are ready to take the outsourcing burden for rather low prices.
