Jeremy,
I wrote the 430TX stuff. It does work, but only on my board, which is an
embedded system so it's lacking things like floppy/ide/keyboard/video.
Even still, if you want to do 430TX work, it's a pretty good start. You
will need to be capable of understanding the intel datasheets for the
82439TX (northbridge/mtxc) and 82371AB (southbridge/piix4), as well as
whatever super-io chip you have (I have an SMSC FDC37C67x).
However, the stuff I wrote was based on linuxbios of 9 months ago, and
(partially because linuxbios is changing at a fast pace) I haven't kept it
in sync with the official cvs code.
I'm not sure if it's in cvs anywhere, but you can download a tarball at
http://www.reric.net/linux/linuxbios/
Good luck, feel free to mail me if you have any questions.

Ron: if you ever get tired of this feel free to remove 430TX from the
webpage... I won't have time to sync with cvs anytime soon.
