No.  I have one too but have been trounced in my attempts so far.
See http://audible.transient.net/cobalt/ for a jpeg of the serial
interface schematic which you'd need to build so you could see what
you were doing while installing a Qube 2700.

Well you just follow the instructions (faq/list-archive) and whatnot
on another box, but thats not the hard part, the hard part is actually
seeing what happens when it doesn't work (which it won't).  Maybe if
the lcd driver is far enough along it could be used as a really
limited vector to display some hints.
