[Daniel Delahoyde]

Hi Linx Free BIOS Project,

I'm wondering is my computer compatible with the Linux BIOS.  Dell
haven't updated this BIOS since 2002/2003, I think it could be a lot
quicker.

Below is my lspci output. Thanks for your help.  Daniel

Unfortunately this chipset isn't supported. Feel free to help out but
it will require a lot of (guess)work and tearing of hair because of
lack of documentation. Sorry. :\
