No, I am still fighting with POST card. Some WinXX guys are fighting
with
PCI serial port. But thanks for LinuxBIOS, it is much easier to debug
since there is less code to debug.

Built-in flash interface. You may think it as integrating SiS 540 and
SiS 950
and a Pentium in a signle package. All of those "buses" are "internal"
now ;-).
