It was also used long after its replacement, with the newest known platform it was compiled for being AMD's Socket 754 on the MSI K8T Neo and Neo-R motherboards[1]. Embedded/industrial systems using it are also known, such as the Acrosser AR-B1423 and AR-B1479A industrial computers based on the STPC Consumer-II platform[2].
