Its using a VIA Mini-itx mainboard so the tv out works but the quality isn't
great (at least with any of the mini-itx boards so far)
You don't need any drivers for the CF. CF cards have an IDE compatibility
mode built in so the cf slot is just an IDE to Cf convertor. I have
installed a simple linux setup on a 128m simply but plugging the cf adapter
card in one ide slot and a cdrom in the other then removing the remount as rw
from the init script.
