Hi!
I need to know if my motherboard is supported. I'm pretty sure most of its components are at least work-in-progress, but I'm not sure. Here is what I know about my system:
CPU: Intel Pentium II 400Mhz -- I'm thinking about upgrading it soon...
This board can only handle a 100MHz FSB, so keep that in mind. If you get a CPU with a 133MHz FSB, it will run at 100MHz, but you effectively get a 25% speed loss because of the north bridge.
Northbridge: Intel 82443BX
WIP? Not sure if this ever got wrapped up, but it boots.
Southbridge: Intel 82371EB Super I/O: SMSC FDC37M707
Not supported, yet. the fdc37m60x is supported though, should be an easy port.
Mainboard: Intel SE440BX-2 *Flash Chip: Intel... TSOC? It's a pity I can't send pictures; I need help identifying it!
Yes, this is a TSOP flash chip, it should be located behind the top ISA slot, below the CMOS battery. You'll need to have that replaced with a TSOP socket to test linuxbios.
