I have a mini-ITX VIA C3 board (EPIA ML, fairly early model) sitting
around doing nothing. I could probably cobble together a power supply,
RAM, and so on to put around it as a testing system, but I'd be happy to
ship it to you if you'd like. It's a pretty nice board, actually; I'd
probably have turned it into a firewall by now if its support for SSDs
were a little better.

My home server has a Via C7, and I'd be happy to test on that if it can
be done without leaving the house without Internet access for days.

I think I've got access to a dev board with one of these chips. I
haven't seen it lately, but I'm sure I can dig it out if necessary.
