What I have done is simply provided support for the bus speeds that the boards timer is capable of providing, but that ASUS removed for SONY. For those that are not already familiar; this is a mobo that ASUS used for in-house R&D and later sold to SONY which sent it out as a VIAO. As it (the board) was the proto for the ASUS P3B-1394, I am using that BIOS image as opposed to the one that SONY provided. My question: As I'm now cobbling a kernel for this. I noticed that there may be some issues with the sony PIC handling as I grepped the i386/conf/NOTES file. I'm currently running 5.4 with a GENERIC kernel. So I was just hoping that anyone familiar with these boards could share their experiences. As I hope to head off any *unforseen problems*. Thanks for all your time and consideration in this matter. -Chris //////////////////////////////////////////////////// If only Western Electric had found a way to offer binary licenses for the UNIX system back in 1974, the UNIX system would be running on all PC's today rather than DOS/Windows. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////
