- SMSC FDC37C665GT (SuperIO) - OPTi 82C802GA (Northbridge?) - OPTi 82C602A (RTC/companion chip?) - OPTi 82C931 (Audio) - Davicom DM9008F (LAN) - IGS CyberPro 2010 (VGA + TV out) - Philips SAA 7111A (TV in) Looks like your pretty much out of luck for Linuxbios. No support for the OPTi chipset. >From what I saw from google you might be able to get a boot rom from ROM-o-matic for the davicom card. Although one poster said he had to make mods to the etherboot loader since there is no INT19 support in the BIOS of the device and the NOINT19 stuff in etherboot didn't work. Perhaps thats all fixed now. Geting it to dhcp a linux kernel and then dumping the northbridge and sourthbridge settings is probably your only chance unless of course you can find a datasheet for OPTi somewhere. You should be able to get the SMC superIO to work pretty easily. All in all I would say the ROI on that is very low. Probably not worth the effort. -- Richard A.
