Could be.

I assumed LVDS on 
http://www.nottoxic.com/wapcc/dectop/wiki/doku.php?id=hardware:dectop:erweiterungen#lvds_connector 
- I'll have to check e.g. the voltage levels on pins 8/18 (5 or 3.3V) 
and 19/20 (12 V). Is there a typical default pinout for LPC?

could use anything.

I've seen other applications which used 20 pin connectors for GPIO purposes

I know that the BIOS can be programmed easily onboard since there's a 
Windows software around to reprogram it.

Is there any kind of de-assembler within coreboot that would help to 
find out what the current BIOS versions do?

Thanks,
