Initial Work
Built an interface to read/program the ATMEL flash. I believe that this stores the BIOS.
Interface uses a 8255 board and needs an ISA bus machine. My only Linux machine with ISA is on it's last legs!
Interface doesn't seem to be too reliable, but I have managed to dump the ATMEL image to disk.
Found the AMD docs for the SC400 at here .
Looked at things to replace the ROM. Netboot? Then found alios. This seems to do exaclty what I need - i.e. boot Linux on an SC400. but it needs a linear flash card.
