I had it working a month ago, but I fried the board the next day. It just didn't seem worth it to spend $100 CAD for another off eBay + shipping + taxes, etc. and I haven't run into another locally yet.
I'm posting what I had at the time I got it working, maybe it can go into CVS for safe keeping.
freebios/src/mainboard/soyo/6ba+ directory contents attached.
