Hi all,

I got the superio datasheet from Nuvoton. It came the other day I wrote them. I 
think this was fastest ever request fulfilled I made to any east asia company ;)

I'm still considering buying this mainboard with A10 CPU and some RAM. Problem 
is that it costs quite a lot of money (280E) which are at risk because of following:

1) lack of documentation of NB

The BKDG does not contain any docu for PCI devices < 0x18
Anone knows if this changes? I'm OK with some free software friendly NDA

2) lack of SB documenation

    the hudson D4 has completely different PCI ids and I could not find that D4 
is supported by current AGESA.
Anone knows if this changes? I'm OK with some free software friendly NDA

3) there is still the firmware stuff I'm afraid of.

On the other hand coreboot really deserves some modern motherboard as we all 
know. I would like to invite other folks discussion ;)

You may ask why I'm so pesky about a documentation, but the experience showed no 
code is perfect ;) I think I could buy cheapest CPU and save about 70E, but I 
had in plan to eventually use it as my new workstation.

I'm looking forward for any input,

Thanks
Rudolf
