Yes, but that still wouldn't solve the issue of the hardware in the box
such as ASICs, controllers, bus, ROM, and so forth. Change motherboard
as well, then it might be more doable :-) Which is kind of self-defeating,
short of someone volunteering to donate know-how and time to write support
for it. I got neither, I'm afraid.
