Dunno.  Have a look there what chip they're using now.

Ooops.  I've just noticed that i've been confusing their board names.
The P55T2P4 is what i'm using, and i think mine has got a Winbond
chip.  I haven't noticed any weirdness with it yet, but neither do i
run a floppy tape on it.

The board with the UMC8669F was the P55TP4N.  I'm not even sure
whether all of them were shipping with the UMC chip, or whether
they've later noticed that brokeness.
