What are the chances of this working on the Tyan S2875S ? Possible with
an ATI Radeon card instead of GeForce (assuming the same tricks work on
both).

And does booting from SATA work?
I heard something about Tyan supporting LinuxBIOS - is it actually
possible to order with LinuxBIOS pre-installed? I noticed there is a
port80 LED on this board as well - which may help.
Thanks,
Evan
