Eric, Probably your best bet would be the PLCC chip containing the bios.
Maybe you could be lucky, and the bios is actually an Award modular bios, that you could add Etherboot to. You would need an eprom programmer to access the contents of the chip. Where could I get my hands on one of those little $10 units ?
