Hi,
I noticed the wiki supported chipsets page has listed under the southbrigde
section "AMD RS690" and "AMD RS780/RS785?". But RS690 and RS780 are
northbridges, not southbridges, and there is no RS785.
Sorted by codename, the chipsets I can find are*
Codename Product Name Documentation?
RS690 AMD 690G chipset x[2]
RS690C AMD 690V chipset x[2]
RS690E AMD M690E chipset x[2]
RS690M AMD M690 chipset x[2]
RS690MC AMD M690V chipset x[2]
RS690T AMD M690T chipset x[2]
RS740 AMD 740G chipset
RX740 AMD 740 chipset
RD780 AMD 790X chipset
RS780 AMD 780G chipset x[1]
RS780C AMD 780V chipset x[1]
RS780D AMD 790GX chipset x[1]
RS780E AMD 780E chipset x[1]
RS780L AMD 760G chipset
RS780M AMD M780G chipset x[1]
RS780MC AMD M780V chipset x[1]
RX780 AMD 770 chipset
RX781 AMD M770 chipset x[1]
RD790 AMD 790FX chipset
RS880 AMD 785G chipset

As far as I can tell (though I haven't looked heavily), AMD northbridges are the
only ones to use separate code/product names. Since the product names are likely
more well-known, I suggest the following:
Move "RS690" to northbridges, and rename it to "690G/V, M690/E/V/T"
Move "RS780/RS785?" to northbridges, and rename it to "780E/G/V, 790GX, M770,
M780G/V"
Now, that assumes that support for these actually exists. I only see one
motherboard on the supported motherboards page that uses a 690G, and none that
uses a 700-series chipset. Does anyone know the actual status?
And for all the 700-series without documentation, should they be in the list for
clarity, as either WIP or NO with a footnote saying they're similar but
documentation hasn't been released?
