Re: [LinuxBIOS] about programming BIOS Savior

Hi

I found that I have a different ID for the ISA bridge, so the only
difference between our codes is the device id from 0x746b to 0x7468.

{ 0x1022, 0x7468, 0x1022, 0x7468,  0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000, 0x0000,
                "iwill", "dk8_htx", "IWILL DK8-HTX", board_iwill_dk8htx },

Best,
Ning
