I don't know the exact differnce between the LX and BX parts but I 
believe that the LX only supported up to a Pentium II whereas the BX 
does a III and a celeron. I that the 440BX code should work for you.  I 
know I used a lot of the LX/TX code as reference when I was getting our 
board to work.  You should at least be able to get a serial port up.

Perhaps you can find a LX data sheet somewhere.

What superIO is on the board?  Look for a National Semi chip or a 
winbond or something similar.
