[Soekris] net6501: are the E6xx LVDS pins available as pads anywhere?

requires the handshake lines, unless the console serial port is not UART0. Or the internal video is available (and, obviously, the BIOS supports it, ugh). Finally, there are 4 other USB ports implemented in the EG20T - are pads for them available anywhere? Thanks- Andrew
