any info on ncpucode.bin?

Recommended by Wim's BIOS...

i've been trying to add dothan support to abit ic7 mobo, but i've been unable to do it yet.
the problem is that both ic7 bios and donor (aopen or dfi 855 boards) don't have cpucode.bin inside them, but ncpucode.bin..
that seems to be pretty undocumented image there.. although widely used from some point i see..
though it appears i can get ride of ncpucode.bin and then inject my custom cpucode.bin.. i just have to find proper microcodes then to test it out..
don't know if it works, i'm afraid it wont..
