I know the chromebook uniformity is pretty good. They are uniform, beside the case of the spi. Most x220 have a spi in a SOIC8, but some have a WSON or mlp8 case. I had problems with my x220 because I desolered the wson chip and soldered a SOIC8 which wasn't quite supported by coreboot. I say the "normal" coreboot user wouldn't do that ;). They only use a clip. Best, lynxis -- Alexander Couzens mail: lyn...@fe80.eu jabber: lyn...@fe80.eu mobile: +4915123277221 gpg: 390D CF78 8BF9 AA50 4F8F F1E2 C29E 9DA6 A0DF 8604
