Right now I ignore the fact that thermal setup is completely wrong. The
machine still boots, though. There are other differences as well.

You're right about the striking similarities between targets, though.
I'd really like to have one generic RS690/SB600 board and keep the
differences well contained in separate files. My cleanups have been
focued on that task.

The weird thing is that the board wouldn't boot otherwise. These changes
are fairly old, though, so it may be possible that they are no longer
needed. It will be a week before I have access to the hardware again.
