What are the chances of this working on the Tyan S2875S ?  Possible with
an ATI Radeon card instead of GeForce (assuming the same tricks work on
both).

And does booting from SATA work?

I heard something about Tyan supporting LinuxBIOS - is it actually
possible to order with LinuxBIOS pre-installed?  I noticed there is a
port80 LED on this board as well - which may help.

Thanks,
Evan
