I'm curious when you say more work was involved to use port 0x278 on the NatSemi chip. Is it not like the SMSC chip where you can simply tell it any i/o port you want? Considering we will now have i/o port relocation covered for the PC164 and Miata, is anyone willing to compile a list of the various Super I/O chips in use by Alphas so we could add this support to more machines? -Mark On Tue, Jul 18, 2000 at 12:24:34PM -0600, Andrew M.
