It shouldn't be gone forever however we're still encountering issues
just getting the machine to a bootable state. We can't seem to find an
boot image that will work anymore for Linux and the machine isn't like a
PC. We've been busy with other higher priority issues and haven't had a
chance to work on it much. I'll let you know when we finally have it in
a state where we can at least get to the data.

Thanks-
