Hi,

Cutting PCI reset is clever. I know SBxxx from AMD tend to have ROMCS (AD24 pin) 
signal routed to B14 of PCI connector. SB 820 manual:

Enable ROM Straps to select ROM type
0V ­ Reserved **
3.3V ­ Required setting (use ROMTYPE straps to
determine the ROM type)
**Note: Strap option was originally for booting
from PCI memory; the feature is not supported, as
it has not been productized.

Not sure how it works on SB600/SB700 will check evening.

Thanks
Rudolf
