Hugh, I took this as a cue to revisit one or my own baytrail devices. The Vensmile battery powered miniPC. I went out of my way to get the model with 64GB of storage, which has a different (harder to open) case. http://www.banggood.com/Vensmile-W10-Quad-Core-2GB-RAM-64GB-ROM-Windows-8_1-... https://androidtvbox.eu/vensmile-ipc002-w10-mini-pc-with-64gb-or-32gb-and-ba... Popped the latest multi-arch Debian ISO (8.7.0) into my trusty ZALMAN external drive with virtual CD/DVD function. https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811235059 Added USB hub for a USB-Ethernet adapter and my keyboard/mouse, and was off to the races. I must report successful 64-bit install, even so far as to get the wireless working. My setup notes are attached for the curious. -- Scott Sullivan
