I have been struggling to find a suitable board here in the uk, with a disastrous attempt using an asus board I have now found a sis 630 based board made my a company called Jetway ( i suspect this to be PCCHIPS board) which worked straght out of the box with the matsonic etherboot rom. After carefully examining the board it became apparent that a small mod would be required to use a 512kb rom. This was quite an easy task of moving one surface mount link, boy are these small.
Any way I now seam to have a working system, I just have 3 questions. 1. The board uses a Winbond W83697HF superio chip and not the SIS 950. Should I change anything, The meaning of register 24 is different beetween the two (It deals with the flash chip the CLKSEL frequency), if so how to i go about the code and the source tree. 2. I am unable to program the flash chip on board using Ollies flash_rom even after i make the above mods to the program. Could some one please explain ( or point me at the data sheet ) for the sis 630 register settings in flash_rom. 3. I havn't done anything with regard to irq routing the board appears to be fully functional ( well the lan works as does the audio, the serial and the parallel ports), is there any tests to conferm this. Thanks Russell ( a happy linuxbioser :-)
