Godziller, I have similar board and had bricked it. I just shorted some pins on resistor pack (51R x4, they are on D0..D7 lines) and it falls to mask ROM.
Main trouble in similar boards is 1.5GB RAM eMCP pack which requires special bootloader (DDR init 1.10 doesn't support 1.5G, it detects 2G and hangs).
I extracted and re-assembled loader from firmware, it has DDR init code v1.11 and usbplug v2.53 (v2.56 halts system boot).
