Correct.  The southbrige will pass all the legacy IO's to the isa buss. 
  mouse and keyboard are usually in that group of superIO functions as 
well.

I looked at the superio tree and there is a W83977ef but not a tf you 
will need to get the datasheets and look at the difference between the 
them.  Of course you can probally just try the ef and see what happens. 
  If you don't get any serial activity though you will have to fix 
whatever superio serial port issues there are.

I'm really interested in you trying this board so I can see if all my 
changes to the 440bx tree work for someone else besides me.  I don't 
beleive they have been re-tested by someone else since they were comitted.
