Is all the necessary chipset/motherboard documentation for doing this
available? Is it possible to make an order-of-magnitude (couple hours,
couple days, couple weeks) time estimate for someone who isn't familiar
with the codebase?
Since I'm working on a 'one-off' project in my spare time (mostly
for my own edification), I may just get the DOC in the name of
immediate gratification. :)
