The SuperIO chip is - according to the URL pasted above - an Nvidia nforce 430MCP. The actual chip on the mainboard reads:
Nvidia P5080239 0534A2 MCP51-N-A2 GH 9940.1
Wait, I think this is actually (just) the southbridge, the Super I/O is probably another chip. Please check this screenshot: http://www.computerbase.de/bild/article/517/8/
The chip in the lower-right corner should be the Super I/O, which is probably a Winbond W83627EHG-A. The manual for the mainboard seems to suggest the same, see screenshot on page 65 of this PDF: ftp://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket939/A8N-VMCSM/e2294_a8n-vm_csm.pdf
The winbond chip reads:
W83627EHG-A 620T9C261 28760UB
So, yes!
If this is the case, it's probably easy to get the Super I/O working. According to http://www.winbond.com/e-winbondhtm/partner/_Computer_SIO_LPCSIO4DS.htm the W83627EHG is compatible with the W83627HG which is in turn compatible with the W83627HF, which is supported by LinuxBIOS :)
Excellent :)
Thanks, Ward.
