Well, I cannnot promise that I will actually find the problem and find a fix.
But I can promise to look into the issue and potentially ask other people
at VIA/Centaur to help with investigating it.

And as soon as the problem can be reproduced, or we have a fix, or I give up,
you would get the system back, obviously.

I'll try to figure out how we can do the shipping while billing it to VIA's
account.

In any case, let's wait until I hear from VIA if they can provide one of those
machines to me.
