RE: VIA Eden HW encryption support users?

[Jason Mills <jmills@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have five VIA/Centaur processor based systems from various eras (PadLock rev. 1 and rev. 2 feature-sets).

If you give me a specific scenario to work through, I can probably generate at least some of the data you're looking for.


Yes, the padlock* driver-sets are what you need to access the various VIA/Centaur PadLock feature-sets.
