Hello,
	I've gone over the instructions included on the website for the sis 
630. I have a few questions on how I can do this if I am not using a 
sis 630 winfast mobo. I have a SBC sis530 based machine. I realize that 
this board is not supported but I also have the datasheet and don't 
mind the work that would be involved in adding support. Before I start 
on that though here are my question. It talks about replacing the bios 
chip with a DoC. I've looked at this board and what seems to me to be 
the bios chip is not the same shape as a DoC it is an AWARD and it is 
square. There is a DoC on the machine and it is rectangular. So there 
is no way to replace one with the other. Does that make this 
impossible? Or is it possible to flash the AWARD BIOS with the 
linuxbios code? Or, and I highly doubt this, since there is a DoC on 
the board can I simply remove the BIOS chip...

Any suggestions?
