2007-04-18 Thread Randall Philipson
I warned you guys that when I started my CX700 port that my lack of intellect would be a problem. Well, I don't even know where to start. I assume that I need to create a VT8454 directory in targets/via and mainboard/via (VT8454 is the eval board,I'm actually working on getting an MSI Industr
