Wow.  You are the 3rd person in 2 days to ask about 440bx.  A year of 
nothing and then pow. Things come in 3's I guess.

Yes. 440bx is supported.  Currently AGP may or may not work.  The 
default routing of Legacy VGA stuff is controlled by a strap setting on 
the Nortbridge so its just possible that if the strap setting is right 
that AGP might be up enough for the emulator to bring up a card.

Our board does not have AGP so I don't know if its setup right (if at all)

Start with mainboard/bitworks/ims and go from there.
