I haven't touched the southbridge code yet, but it seems to be supported already. And please note, I'm merely writing code currently, I haven't yet actually _tested_ anything... > And did you start from scratch, or modify the > code that was already there? Both, partly. I don't want to do further cut'n'paste programming, there's enough of that in the tree already. I started mostly from scratch and tried to properly document the code. Some parts I'll reuse from the E7501 I guess, and the real know-how is in the V1 440BX code (which is working fine for me on my hardware, btw). > And a final question for anyone, if I were to do a flash and it not go > well, do failsafes like key combonations to pull a bios off a floppy > still work, or are those stored in the BIOS? Won't work, see Ron's post. I have a local svn repository where I checkin all my proprietary BIOS images, so I won't lose them no matter how much I mess up. And I put one or more backups of them on real physical chips, of course.
