Great, thanks! I updated the wiki. > Unfortunately, I didn't notice until > after I got the board, that it doesn't have a serial port (or a parallel > port for that matter). I guess that makes things more difficult. I think there _is_ a serial port, see below. > 00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 Host Bridge > 00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 PCI to PCI Bridge (Internal > gfx) > 00:12.0 SATA controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 Non-Raid-5 SATA > 00:13.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 USB (OHCI0) > 00:13.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 USB (OHCI1) > 00:13.2 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 USB (OHCI2) > 00:13.3 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 USB (OHCI3) > 00:13.4 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 USB (OHCI4) > 00:13.5 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 USB Controller (EHCI) > 00:14.0 SMBus: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 SMBus Controller (rev 14) > 00:14.1 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 IDE > 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) > 00:14.3 ISA bridge: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 PCI to LPC Bridge > 00:14.4 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 PCI to PCI Bridge > 00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] > HyperTransport Technology Configuration > 00:18.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] > Address Map > 00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] DRAM > Controller > 00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] > Miscellaneous Control > 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 [Radeon X1200 > Series] > 02:01.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/mini-PCI (rev 01) > 02:05.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. > RTL-8110SC/8169SC Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10) Good, both AMD RS690 and SB600 are supported. > Calibrating delay loop... 290M loops per second.

Adding support for this Super I/O should be trivial, there's a datasheet and it's similar to most other ITE ones, of course. The Super I/O itself _does_ support serial though. And, luckily, the website says there's a serial header _on_ the board (no serial port per se, but you can attach one there). The board should come with a serial connector cable, I guess. The header is right below the PCI slots. I think we can make this work, but we'll need your help. Next step would be to get a second ROM chip, so that you can make a backup of your BIOS using flashrom, and a PLCC extractor (optional). If you're sure you have a backup chip stored somewhere safe, the fun can begin :) We might need some more info, e.g. the output of 'getpir' (a file called irq_table.c) and 'mptable' output. Later, also 'superiotool -dV' but we need to add IT8726F support to superiotool first...
