Hello,

It's great to see people working on envy24 support. Thanks a lot hackers !
I'm thinking about buying an Onkyo SE-90PCI board.
Do you think if it's possible to make it work on FreeBSD ? It seem to use the 
VT1720T (Envy24MT). As I see on Nikolas' web site, no datasheet is currently 
available for this chip. How can I help ? Should I ask VIA for datasheet ?

Thanks,

Laurent
