If you have some contacts at Intel, please utilize them. They are far and few between. There are a few SIS developers that help out with LB. Maybe they would be of more use?
A 512k chip is plenty big enough to fit LB+Payloads. I don't think you would be able to fit a whole LB+Payloads+kernel+minimalOS on it though. Thanks - Joe -- linuxbios mailing list linuxbios@linuxbios.org http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
