if your just doing basic stuff it should work, though the IDE may not. It may be difficult to get X running if that board has onboard video. perhaps sound too. winbond i/o is normal, most consumer boards have a winbond chip on them, I think this monitors temperature, fan rpms, voltage etc. winbond is a brand/company as far as I know. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
