I have, erm, acquired the vt8237r datasheets
I would strongly like to ask everyone to refrain from using any knowledge gained from documents that they do not have a legal right to read, at least while working with LinuxBIOS.
LinuxBIOS' reputation among vendors would suffer greatly from even a single incident if the relevant agreements were not in order with the vendor before acquiring documentation.
This kind of mistake is even more undesired, unneccessary and uncool when the vendor is willing to work with us, as my impression is for VIA.
We would only be hurting ourselves.
Worst case scenarion:
Vendor Exec: "If they can't even do it with VIA who practically give away their docs, why should we even give them half a chance?"

Is this why Intel is so uncooperative??
