ADLO hasn't seen any development activity since 2004 except for a short
period in 2007 during Google Summer of Code.
SeaBIOS is developed actively, but it's fairly new.

ADLO only worked on exactly one real mainboard with a SiS630 chipset,
but it works nicely in Qemu.
SeaBIOS attempts to work on all hardware (at least that's the perceived
goal), but it also had Qemu as main testing platform.

ADLO is working in conjunction with the old BOCHS BIOS in assembler.
SeaBIOS is written in C.

I'd say that you want to try SeaBIOS and test it. Then report
success/failure to this list.


About Windows XP Embedded: I believe booting that XP variant may even be
easier if you have the chance to mix-and-match the modules you want.
