Hi, just thought I'd drop a line to say that I've gotten a "new" board, an Intel D815EEA, which will support my P3 and more ram, but unfortunately the new board uses a totally different TSOP for the BIOS, so it won't be running linuxbios, at least not for the moment. However, if you would like to work on the code for the super i/o and/or chipset support for the BI440ZX, please send me an email, I'm more than willing to test (having a full PC running without a case on my bench drives my old lady nuts :D ). I've already removed the bios chip from the second motherboard and have it half-sodiered onto the first one, just need to finish it up and find an appropriate switch.

I'm looking to use linuxbios on an intel bi440zx, a P3 mobo with a 440zx chipset. I'm wondering if anyone has worked on support for this motherboard, or even this chipset, or if the code for the 440BX chipset works as a drop-in replacement.
The 440BX code is not yet fully working AFAIK, but work is being done to improve things. I have a similar board and will probably help testing, maybe coding...
Super I/O: I think this is the right chip: SMSC FDC37B807
I'll take care of that, there's a datasheet. I don't have the hardware, though, so I won't be able to test.
Uwe.
