Testing Platforms

[Chris Arguin]

We should probably start paying attention to what chipsets we have, so
that we don't have two people going off and implementing the same one
twice. If you want, I can keep track of that list. With any luck, we will
have a fair amount of variety of platforms to develop and test on.

I've got a ASUS P55TP4N motherboard, which is a single Pentium MB with
the Intel 430fx chipset. Currently it has an Award BIOS and a Symlogic
SCSI BIOS.

The Intel 430fx chipset is a 82437 System Controller, 82438 Data Paths, 
and a PIIX IDE+ISA interface.

I am using a Tyan Titan Pro 1668D with dual PPro's and Award BIOS.
It uses a 440FX (which does PPRO and PII) PIIX3, and I/O APIC (SMP chip)

82441FX PCI and Memory
82442FX Data Bus Accelerator
82371SB PCI ISA IDE Accelerator 
82093AA Standalone I/O APIC

SMC FDC37C665IR I/O chip
AMIKEY 9646 (I'm really sure what this is??? 8256 replacement??)
Dallas RTC

Everything else is basically glue.

FYI I have already flashed in some Tyan PII (AMI) BIOS's on this board and for
the most part they worked.
