The 3D3 has an Award BIOS and onboard VGA and audio (similar to the 1D). All other 2XX and 3XX Alix boards are using tinyBIOS and a serial console. LED support for Alix is in trunk and 0.7 branch already too. But only when you use the Alix image. http://astlinux.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/astlinux?view=rev&revision=3367 > >Thanks and regards, >Mike > > > >On Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:39:28 -0800 >"Philip A.
