That's not supported yet, unfortunately. As it uses mostly already supported
components (the MCP55 for example) it should be doable pretty quickly,
though. Are you able and willing to test patches on your hardware if we
create some?
Yes I am willing and able to help in any way needed!

This is a good thing!
I just need to grab a PLCC32 puller and another 2+MB chip. Sources on the chip? I will try to order one tomorrow.

I don't know. Someone else has to answer this question.
I got your other response to this, thanks.
What Super I/O is on your board? (look for ITE, Winbond, or something
similar, see http://linuxbios.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices).
I have an ITE IT8716F-S Super I/O chip. Looks like it is fully supported.
Do you have a null-modem cable for serial debugging output?
Yes, I have a null modem cable and a laptop that I can use to run any O/S needed
Uwe.
