How common are F0 and F1? Were they sold?

If yes, and maybe also if no, I think we should detect them and let
the user know why nothing is working.

We can put that in. I had a discussion with marc and the feeling was
that we should, rather, just support newer boards that can't run these
ancient parts.

I.e it will not be possible to use them, since the mainboards won't be
supported.

thanks, I (really* appreciate it when people read these patches!
You've got an eagle eye.
