This could be very interesting. I believe the MPX chipset does not support an ISA bus just an LPC bus (to the programmer these are identical). This means it will take a different kind of ROM chip. If it is socketed the hot swap trick will still work (at least if the Intel FWH is anything to judge by). The truly nice thing is that an LPC bus chip should not have a maximum size set by it's pin count.... Eric
