[LinuxBIOS] Question About AMD board and BIOS programmer for LinuxBIOS

[Ning (Michael) Qu]

Hi,

What is ROM emulator? You mean it is a replacement for BIOS Saivor?
Thanks for your help! And the current LinuxBIOS (v1 or v2) has support

Gigabyte M57sli with AM2 socket
Tyan s2915
Tyan s2912
Supermicro h8dae

Best,
Ning
