I notice they call it a `base board' not mother board so I grepped for
that:  

    smbios |grep 'base board'
    <nothing>

    smbios |grep Manufacturer
  Manufacturer:  
  Manufacturer:  
  Manufacturer: AMD
  Manufacturer: None
  Manufacturer: None
  Manufacturer: None

Must be secretive hardware eh?
