Sadly I don't remember what I did with the board since I upgraded the machine to a NForce4 set. If I find it, i'll try to send you the dumps you need.

Hi Sean,
I have some questions about your kt4v/kt4ultra board enable:
- I am about to move some code from many vt823x based board
enables to the chipset enable. Your board enable has some "similar" code, but not quite, and it now forms the only anomaly.
Can you send me the output of: dd if=/dev/mem of=/tmp/kt4v_system.rom bs=64k count=1 skip=15 so i can have a dig through the top segment of your AMI BIOS to verify this code?
- I am about to tighten up the board enable matching table.
* both the coreboot ids will disappear. * we need a second set for the kt4v. Can you send in lspci -vvnnxxx on both boards?
Thanks,
Luc Verhaegen.
The anomalies are the following:
* it touches the register that vt823x based board enables often touch. but instead of clearing the 1 bit, it clears all except two. * it provides coreboot ids while it can match the one board just fine. * it provides no full set of pciids for the second board.

Took some time to get the data you needed. As soon as I hunt down the KT3 Ultra2 lspci I'll send it to you.

I don't think I'll be able to send you the KT3 Ultra2 lspci, I don't think I ever made a lspci dump and I don't have the board anymore.

Ok, but what about the kt4ultra?

Hi Sean,
I am unable to find a board enable in this AMI bios, it is not handled as part of the usual routine. Are you sure that this code is really necessary?
From the lspci we can easily match several devices uniquely with
MSI:7120, not just the one.
