The GXm is different from the SC1210. The GXm is a two chip solution,=20 and the SC1210 is a one chip solution, which has a different DIR and a=20= different vendor identifier: NSC Geode (266.65-MHz 586-class CPU) Origin =3D "Geode by NSC" Id =3D 0x540 Stepping =3D 0 DIR=3D0x81b0 Look at the patch, and you'll notice the difference... ; Bodo --=20 Bodo R=FCskamp
