Hello so i was talking to my friend about coreboot but i saw that only the SFF version of the compaq 8200 was compatible and so i wanted to know why that is? Also will coreboot be available for the compaq 8200 in the future?

Those adding that code were only interested in supporting that model.

It could, if you or someone else makes it happen. If you're interested then you should not wait for someone else to do it for you, since that's unlikely.

Or only had a SFF model to test things on.

It shouldn't be too hard to add support for the other form factors. After making sure the GPIO settings match (use util/autoport and compare the gpio.c files), it might be as simple as enabling a few devices in the devicetree.
