Just to make sure; where would I need to set the 57600 bitrate? The file I
have been
looking at is the assembler code file in the vt82c686 directory, which just
sets a
register with some values I cannot compare with a datasheet (as I haven't
found one yet).
Or am I looking at the wrong file here: ?

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/freebios/freebios/src/superio/via/vt82c686/setup_serial.inc?rev=1.2&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

Also, I blew up my board (probably ESD problem) during replacing the cooling
compounds. :-/
I am waiting for a new one... This _does_ give me an extra (and original)
FlashROM part. :-)

BTW, does anyone know a source for the STT39F020A Flashes? They're hard to
come by here.

Regards,

Leon.
