It's the number that's weird-- 8201-- something. The manual says its
"integrated" with the onboard chipset. Linux recognizes it, but doesn't come
up with a driver. I can experiment a bit, but I haven't had time yet.

nVidia chipset. The North Bridge is 220D GeForce MX Integrated. South Bridge
is nForce MCP-D. Not a bad little board, from my limited experience with it.
Between the ATA100 and the nice drive I got, the I/O time has been noticably
shorter-- not to mention quieter.
Overall, nice value for the money.
