 											<b><i><u>HIGH PRIORITY!</u></i></b> ASUS KFSN4-DRE - fam10h, already in coreboot, seems to have native graphics initialization already,
-											CPUs probably work without microcode updates, looks like this can already run blob-free.
-											NOTE: PLCC flash chip (see vultureprog. BBB might be possible, it has GPIO pins etc) - 
-											external flashing not required. Flashing internally from stock firmware works.
-											Recommendation: boot with proprietary firmware, dump it, hot-swap the chip and copy the dump to the new chip.
-											Do this a few times. Now you have a backup. Then flash coreboot/libreboot. No external programmer needed
-											(not even for brick recovery, since you backed it up onto spare flash chips).
