Hello,
I want to propose a "coreboot challenge" to first port coreboot to the
i840 chpset, second port coreboot to support a very rare i840 dual cpu
board, third instead of RAMBUS (which i840 is designed for) this board
uses SDRAM. I think this would be a very interesting port for coreboot.
The board is a AMI Megatrends MegaDual. The user manual can be found
here: http://www.ami.com/support/doc/MegaDual_mb_man.PDF
I have four of these rare boards and am willing to donate three of them
(one person each, less shipping costs of course) to anyone who is
willing to take on this challenge. Let me know if your interested.
P.S.: the first person to boot to a Linux command line gets the grand
prize, a big fat cookie :-)
Attached is a pic of the board, in case your curious.

Hi Joe,
It it still offer valid? I could give it a try since next month, but I
also need a CPU(or two?). I think I still have some SDRAM somewhere, and
I think I have the rest of the components...
It really looks like great fun.
Hello Cristi,
Yes I still have a board available for you. I might even have some
processors around to throw in. Send me an email offlist and we will
figure out the shipping stuff. Looking forward to coreboot on this board :-)
