Err...the two boards I have with those superio's are the damn intels
with the tsops, so they need somewhat of a guarantee of booting (and
being able to be reflashed) before I can test them.

Alright, I'm already working on it. This southbridge has an integrated
Super I/O, should I be including the Super I/O code in with the
southbridge, or seperating them out? Or does it really matter? Seem to
me that the first way would be easier, but the second would make it
easier to debug, and in case there are other motherboards that use the
same southbridge but an off-chip super io (dunno if there are any). I
haven't looked yet to see how v1 does it. Anyways, let me know, I can do
it either way (currently still working on making sure the CPU works
right, these early athlons were a bit funky, from what I've read so far).
