"This new Southbridge incorporated the same features as the VT82C686A only this new chipset supports the new ATA-100 protocol, when this was available to the market Epox took their existing 8KTA+ and added the new 686B Southbridge, since the pin outs are the same all that was required as to replace the 686A with the 686B. This board was labelled the 8KTA2. With the introduction of 266MHz FSB CPU's and the KT133 chipset not able to supply the needed FSB for this new CPU. So, VIA released a new chipset titled the KT133A. This new chipset has all the same features as its younger brother but now officially supports 266MHz FSB with PC133 SDRAM and EPOX have been, once again, the first to market with the new 8KTA3 motherboard supporting the new VIA KT133A chipset."
