We had such calls before, and people would send in their board
information, assuming that this would be enough for us to support their
hardware. Unfortunately not a single new port resulted from this, though
many people participated and lots of (unaccomplished) expectations were
created. So I carefully wonder what the real goal of such a call would
be, except gathering random people with random boards? Something like:
We have 10 people who are willing to work on this or that mainboard if
you get them a system they can keep for doing the work, given that the
northbridge and southbridge are already supported... Other ideas?
