I think so too and I will email kiyohara directly.

Looking into this and I certainly do have a different version string.

The model detection seems to be getting a bit of noise at the end of the string.
I have seen:
        SERIES5mx`
        SERIES5mx``
        SERIES5mxÆ

I modified the boot loader to try and boot as a 5mx even when the check fails.
This allows the kernel to take over, but I only end up with a a screen of noise.

Trying to boot with a serial cable doesn't give me any output ether.

I also tried a friends 5 series and cannot get it to boot furher than I do on
the 5mx.

I don't see how we are going to build the dystopian megapoli we were promised 
in 80s and early 90s cyberpunk fiction if you guys keep complaining.
