Hi, David
Thanks for your reply! And so the support of the motherboard you suggest is already merged into LinuxBIOS? And are you sure that BIOS saviors are no longer being manufactured? I find that their website is still there but no recent update.

And another question is, if we have make sure what mainboard to buy. Then which programmer should we buy? We are planning to order BIOS programmer from here http://www.ioss.com.tw/web/English/RD1BIOSSavior/SelectionSheet.html, but it still depends on whether we can find a fitful programmer for our new board.Also, the BIOS saviors are no longer being manufactured, so you might have some difficulty finding the one you need. IOSS is no longer selling them directly, but some vendors do still have some in stock, froogle can probably help you with finding them. I also highly recommend the BIOS Savior, I've got two (one DIP and one PLCC) and they work great.
