awesome news! Best luck with this!

The ASRock E350M1 [4] also uses the Nuvoton NCT6775F. Currently the code
from the Winbond W83627HF [5].

    device pci 14.3 on # LPC        0x439d
        chip superio/winbond/w83627hf

Serial works for me. The only problem that might be related from any
incompatibilities is, that a PS/2 keyboard connected to the shared PS/2
port does not work correctly, meaning, entering a character the
characters is displayed several times more. Entering »n«, I get
»nnnnnnnn« for example. Alvaro, having a ASRock E350M1/USB3, also uses a
PS/2 keyboard *but* has no problems with this at all. So I have no idea
if this is related to the Super I/O or not.

Additionally the ACPI/ASL snippet provided for it has also some
problems.

Thanks,

Paul
