The Quanta IL1 reference design (VIA C7 + vx800) is sold in a few minor 
variants (cosmetics, cpu speed, HD size, etc) from several different 
vendors. Maybe one of these?

     * One Mini A120/A150

     * Airis Kira 100/350/740

     * Norhtec Gecko

     * Pioneer DreamBook Light IL1

     * CTL IL1

     * ACi Ethos 7

     * BDSI Deep Blue H1

Let's see how well the vx800 patch from VIA works on one of these. This 
should give us an idea of how much work the EC firmware will be.
