Hiya folks,

Done my poking around on the webiste and the archives and wanted to make
sure the following hardware (pieces) are supported before I lay down any
money :). If anyone is already using this board successfully and
wouldn't mind saying so I'd appreciate any tips you might have.

I'm looking at buying the Advantech PCM-5820-E0A1 board 
<http://www.advantech.com/products/sbc/pcm-5820.htm>; and it has the
following bits on it:

NS GXM-233 MHz processor - this, I think, is a Cyrix processor, but the
info I can find anywhere is very limited.

NS CX5530 chipset for video (CRT and TFT) - this is not a chipset per
se', it an emulated chipset. No info in the list archives. I assume
video is video, but ...

Realtek RTL8139 ethernet - it looks like this is supported.

NS CX 5530 chipset for audio w/ support for AC97 PCI surround - see
above under video, it's an emulated chipset using a codec and BIOS
according to the list archives, but as of July 99 it wasn't supported.

So y'all have a better idea what I want to do with this, it's for a car
audio MP3 player. See <http://sourceforge.net/projects/cajun/>; for more
info. The original player was built under Linux, but I thought I'd give
it a try under FBSD.

Thanks,
rus
