Folks, please be very gentle with me. I'm a retired IBM mainframe system programmer and, other than a few lines of COBOL and assembler written YEARS ago, know essentially nada about 8x86 programming.
I want to reactivate an "ancient" ISA bus PC. The machine uses a VTI "Topcat" chipset, in the 386DX version. The chipset reference PDF is at https://ia800603.us.archive.org/0/items/bitsavers_vtiVTITOPCTChipsetOct90_14...
SeaBIOS can run on real hardware, but only with the aid of coreboot.
So, it's more an issue of getting coreboot running then getting SeaBIOS running.
I'm not sure what the support of coreboot is for that particular motherboard. Alas, if the board is not supported then it is a huge development undertaking to get it to work. Best to follow up on the coreboot mailing lists if that is your intent.
