Nice motherboard, only its excessive little size for calculator make it a breeze entertainment for scholars but now they purse their Google internship when such motherboards are not among their favourite suite of tools for syncing hertz with graphic framebuffer to tell if its cga graphics is still working or if its patented nature are suited for patent troll upgrade infringement, but for that its is required to have working driver but who knows if such code is among paid programmers work? Scholars should know that making such Google laptop working is not among Google interest to have such working computer because Google operating system is not among downloadable software, it is private to those only under Google arrest who know how to download its operating system when Fuchsia is under HTML working code

Nice double entendre!

I think I've had some of this hardware, around the Pentium 3 to Intel core 2 era. Anything actually using this still is probably closer to 15 years old.

Working on making a custom patch on the git kernel. Can't do make clean because it can't find the linuxfb Makefile.
