Simon,

What is the status of linux driver support for the onboard SATA-II
(non-RAID) and also DVI and component video for the board using the
onboard video?

I've had my eye on this board for a while and it seems to tick nearly
all the right boxes (SPDIF input, component video and DVI, dual LAN)
As the board uses an ALC880 audio chip is support fully there (using
hda-intel driver gives working SPDIF)?  The only real negative I have
is that I would want 3 PCI slots (2 DVB, 1 PVR-x50) which I can't do
with this board.

I also see from the manual that it supports both 478 and 479pin
Pentium-M CPUs - which are you using?

Thanks for any information you can pass on,
Nick
