Congratulations, Ron! "Porting LinuxBIOS to the AMD SC520" is a wonderful article. It describes very well the basics required by a LinuxBIOS newbie to understand LinuxBIOS and potentially do his own port to a new motherboard. It also had enough detail to make it interesting to those of us who have been using and developing LinuxBIOS for months or even years.
The article is on-line at: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8120
Thank you Linux Journal for publishing and especially publishing it immediately on-line. (Linux Journal plans to use LinuxBIOS in next year's Ultimate Linux Box.)
I hope Ron's article inspires scores of developers to join the LinuxBIOS project and enable us to port LinuxBIOS to all the high volume server/desktop/laptop/embedded mainboards plus all the lower volume mainboards that are particularly suited to all project member's applications.
Sincerely,
Ken Fuchs kfuchs@winternet.com
thanks, Ken. There is a soon-to-be published article on "getting it done" on the web site. I just have to get it going first :-)
this has been a hard chip, it's amazing how much "it must be a 586 or later" chip is in all our code nowadays, such as FILO, ...

Yeah, great article indeed! It was pointed out to me a few days ago by one of the students working with the Portland State Aerospace Society. Hopefully the article has rekindled their interest in using LinuxBIOS, I think they're even using an SC520.
