Phil, to correct what you said about i2c support for the 730, the problem is not the BIOS. The i2c-sis5595 driver supports the 5595 chip only. There are a large number of SiS chips that have come out since then that have a 5595 PCI ID device inside them but they are not 5595's and the driver won't work. Since release 2.6.1, the sis5595 and i2c-5595 drivers have had a 'blacklist' that recognizes these unsupported chips so that the driver won't load. A new driver will have to be written for the 730 and similar chips. For further info see our 'new drivers' page. mds phil at netroedge.com wrote: > > Hi Bob, I've got one of these mobo's.
