Greetings everyone,
 I have just finished performing surgery on an ASUS P2B-AE motherboard.
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
