I would love it if you could do that port. You need to get data from via on how the chips work. That is your first step.
Argh!!. That would take forever if at all.Isnt there another way? Like simulator or gdb or reading up stuff from the kernel since that already works with the motherboard. rgds jtd

As a first step, yes. But you want dynamic detection of dram and other things. By looking at a picture you can't see which line was painted first and why.

well if you are determined and/or have funding there might be two other ways.
1) I recall Ron describing rom-as-ram trick to get the emu86 running and get the memory setting this way. Slow as molasses I'm told.
2) get a pci debugger card. around $5k i think. can watch the pci traffic on it to see what it writes as ram config. It does not always work but when works it is pretty good.

it's hardware and there is no other way.
