I need to start looking at moving the 440bx stuff to V2. The part I'm most concerned about is re-writing the ram init code. Is it possible to use the V2 structure but graft in the assembly output from V1? Then as time permits I can go back and re-write those routines. Tell me again which is

I don't understand the cpu naming scheme in the cpu/intel dirctory. Our board uses a PIII Celeron in a PGA socket 370 @ 400 Mhz should I just call the directory socket_PGA370 or do I need to add speed info? What about the Celeron, non-celeron difference? = Richard A. Smith Bitworks, Inc.
