Ron,
	Could you please give us the status update on those topic ?

DRAM SIZING
	Could intel_sis630ram.S work on your M/B, does it get corrrect
	value for ALL three DIMM with Signle/Double sided DRAM ??

	SiS' status: yes, all three DIMM and single/double sided DRAM
	combination ares O.K.

Keyboard
	Can your keybord controller works properly ?? have you monitor port
	0x60 to see the scan code you type on keyboard ??

	SiS' status: yes, we got correct scan code every time we press the
	keyboard.

Frame Buffer Device
	Can you use SiSFB or MatroxFB to show the message on monitor ??
	If the answer is yes, which Frame Buffer Device are you using ??
	How and What is the EXACT procedure to do it ??

	SiS' status: no, we can not make SiSFB work under current romimage.
	We are pushing VGA BIOS group very hard to release the code ASAP.
	For the moment, we are considering using Matrox FB instead of SiSFB,
	if you are succeeded in setting up MatroxFB. (We will be back on SiS
	FB once VGA BIOS provide enough information).

PCI configuration (PCI IDE and etc.)
	Can you init the PCI devices ?? especially PCI IDE ?? since we need
	PCI IDE to mount root filesystem.

CVS configureation
	What is the progression you and Jeff made in putting LinuxBIOS on
	FreeBIOS CVS ??

Other things
	Do you have another thing you want to know ?? What else do you want
	to sync with us ??

P.S 
	We are having a long weekend this week. K.M. and I will not here until
	June 7, but we will keep monitoring the maillist.

Ollie
