VSA1 was the original (at least AFAIK) firmware block. It provides SB16 emulation but has no hooks for drivers to 'take over' properly as you really want to hook into SMI. VSA2 (the next gen firmware) had various changes and differences and Cyrix long ago released a rather icky but working 'native' driver for that. I have the Cyrix public and most of the earlier NDA documentation if there are questions but I can't redistribute it.
