Made some progress, but still working on the modelines for the HDTV 
encoder.  This is the last part I need to get working.  I won't be able 
to spend much more time on it until this weekend though.

The last time I looked (a couple of months ago) there were still several 
made.  The thing to look for is if the chipset supports 400MHz FSB.  At 
least most of the Intel chipsets seem to still support 400MHz (while 
adding 533 and/or 800).  Not sure about SiS or Via chipsets.
