I then tested again on another S50: Backed up the factory ROM image, flashed my
coreboot.rom, then flashed again with the factory ROM image - that box is still
working. When I find my PLCC puller, I will try to revive the bricked S50.
A quick status update here - I found my PLCC puller!
My Tiny Core Linux flashrom rig is definitely working - I revived the bricked
S50 by flashing a factory image to it.
(Then I bricked it again hehe)
Success!
Haha silly me - I don't think they were bricked at all… as fijam wrote on his
blog posting, the power button and LED don't work with coreboot. I had
forgotten about this. I connected up a serial cable and saw that it was
starting coreboot! Then I watched NanoBSD boot (with NO pcib hangs!!) and was
able to ssh into it.
Only problem so far is FreeBSD complaining about an interrupt storm on IRQ 10
when I have the serial port connected. Hm.
Anyway, this is fantastic!!! :D
When you get it all sorted, can you get us enlightened folks some more detailed
instructions how to get it all to build :)

Ya I guess I never got around to posting my recipes. It would be good to blow
the dust off this project again and get some help from the rest of you in
getting VGA on boot to work, as well as choosing alternate boot device - I just
haven't been able to get these things to work!
I'll try and consolidate my notes and post them in the next few days.

My offer from a few years ago still stands, I have a few Wyse S10 thin
clients for developers available. They come with more ram and a 1GiB
"SSD" on the ide slot and a power brick.
I'm happy to part with 2 or 3 units :)
I think the difference between the S10 and the S50 is that the S50
officially came with 64mb or 128mb of onboard flash, where the S10 just
had a fast bios. I bet it was even the same bios. Levaraging the 1GiB
SSD more then makes up for that so it would be an S180 :)
As for the ram, I have most of them upgraded to 256mb ram, where the S50
has 128 or 256 mb and 'stock' s10 only had 128mb.
Ideally I'd see one or two to go two VGA blob hackers and 1 to a VSA
hacker :)
Coreboot Winter of code? :)
