How does one get technical information from chipset manufacturers? I have searched the SiS and VIA web sites and found no documentation or pointers to documentation whatsoever. Or am I simply not looking well enough?
depends. developer.intel.com is a good site. You get about 98% of what you need to do a bios on there, which is about 98% more than many vendors give you.
Some examples:
Best vendors we've seen on this list: micron. You ask for docs, you get Mbytes of pdf and other info. AMD for the K8
Next best (i.e. you don't get 100 % but if you ask you might) Intel (they've been very good in the last year) SiS (helped write good) VIA (sometimes good, but where is m-epia?)
Chipset vendors who have made it clear they have no plans to cooperate, either in written or spoken communications: serverworks Nvidia
