We've managed to get the ROM addresses for the LC575, but it still has
some problems with video and/or mapping. Also it seems to use a
different setup for VIA/RBV than all the current working models. The
person who was testing it couldn't get it to transfer from the Booter to
the Kernel. What kind of errors were you getting and which Kernels were
you trying? maybe with the new video info and the new Booter it's time
to give it another look.
