Thanks.

I actually have my agpgart module recognizing the AMD-762 (AMD760 MP Northbridge). I added a #define for its ID (700c) right along with the existing Irongate
#define. I no longer have to use agp_try_unsupported in order to load the agpgart driver. I haven't yet gotten the PCI code to recognize the various IDs for the
Host Bridge, PCI Bridge, ISA and IDE.

It appears that the AMD760 MP chipset has the same register map as the previous set, with some additional registers enabled for new functionality (in the older
chip, these registers are listed as Reserved).

I've also found that I my ATA100 drive is operating as a straight 16-bit IDE drive. I can enable DMA, Ultra66, Write Cache, and 32-bit I/O using hdparm, but it
will be nice when all this can be set automagically by the system.

I also see in your attachment some IDs that I have not seen in the code nor in AMDs data/rev documents. The IDs for my chipset are 700c (Host) and 700d (PCI).
