Re: Current state of 815ep port..

[kok]

Hi HCYun et al,   > I do really want someone to work with me.   I'm still investigating and thinking about this, so no promises, but I am interested...   What motherboard are you using?   Would the FIC FS15T motherboard be a good platform for linuxbios development?  It is available from TigerDirect for US$76.99.  (I don't like TigerDirect due to previous bad experience, but they are the only one that I could find that sells it in the US.)   Another nice-looking board is the AOpen MX3S (http://www.aopen.com/products/mb/mx3s.htm, audio, LAN, graphics, uATX, $111)  There is also an MX3SP which doesn't have on-board graphics, $?.   Other inexpensive 815 motherboards are:   Soyo SY-7IS2 (www.soyousa.com, $92)   Tyan S2080 (http://www.tyan.com/products/html/tomcati815t.html, dual LAN and graphics is optional, $100 presumably without the options)   Iwill BD133V, $107.   Microstar 815EP Pro R, $114, has RAID controller.     Is there some inexpensive way to program the flash, without doing the hot-swapping?  (I really don't like hot-swapping...)  Does someone have a schematic or circuit board for doing the programming?   Thanks, - Jan
