Quoting Peter Stuge peter@stuge.se:
I have a little question : does someone have a more up-to-date version of the DS of the it8716 chip? It seems to me that the version that can be currently downloaded on the ite website doesn't match at all the chip revision used on gigabyte mobo.. (regarding the electrical interface at least..)
I can't find any other documentation than that either.
The M57SLI board with SOIC flash has a version C 8716, I guess they've changed the pinout.

This seems a little bit strange for me : the pinout of the C version seems to replace a floppy disk interface with the spi interface.. When one think that FD is considered "antiquated peripheral" and spi a "new paradigm" for bios storage, that would mean that ver. C is "more modern" that ver. D in its design?!..
OK, I have the 0.2 and 0.3 datasheet of IT8716F and I can't find any difference in interfaces between the datasheets. Please be more specific what you think has been replaced (including page numbers).
