There is a project in the works for supporting this chipset;
however, it is still a thought pattern. With access to the data sheets
to date, the "SIMPLEX" problem is workable in principle.

An honest answer is that it most likely will not make 2.2.0 release.
I have yet to hear back from the pointman of the project, but I have
not been avaliable lately either.

I may be able to get access to one of these MB's, but not yet...
