If there is a reasonable chance that I can make it boot, I might take
the risk of bricking one unit or having to find a creative way of
opening and putting it back together (and that's assuming that the bios
chip can be swapped out..)
I won't blame anyone for it but myself if this goes wrong - and it often
does...

So does it look like it might work from those specs?
A lot of the via boards seem to be very similar, does the hardware and
payload vary so much that this would be pointless?

Cheers
Antoine
