Future support for Nvidia "Crush" CK8-04 (AMD-8111 replacement plus)?

[Ken Fuchs]

Hi,

The "Crush" CK8-04 is an interesting AMD-8111 "replacement" that adds
PCI Express x20, USB 2.0, SATA-150, GbE, 24-bit 96KHz 7.1 audio to
what the AMD-8111 provides (broken USB 2.0):

Is anyone out there interested in LinuxBIOS support for this chip?

What are the prospects of LinuxBIOS supporting this chip?

Iwill which has been working with Nvdia on this chip will release its
dual Opteron mainboard DK8E based on the CK08-04 in August/Sept:

Yeah, nVidia's become a major player in the mainboard chipset market in a 
very short time. Unfortunately, they have a bad reputation for sharing 
documentation, but that may change if they wish to survive against 
competitors like Via and Intel.

By the way, both those links gave me 404 errors.
