Hmm.  It is also possible to have a PCI serial port.  Maybe I should
look around for one of those, given that chipsets power up with PCI
already functioning having a debug port you can take from board to
board could be very handy.

Ouch debugging through a PCI->ISA bridge with a superio on the other
side. I can certainly feel your pain.

What bus does the SiS 550 use for a flash chip.  I can't imagine not
supporting either ISA or LPC to connect a commodity flash chip to.
