   Interesting - I don't keep up with the mobile world, as the scope
for changing things about is much less!  Looking at that doc I note
two other gotchas other than the different voltages (which I doubt
any TX board could produce):
1) The chips require the BF2 line - which was never used on most TX
   boards.  It is normal on super-socket 7 boards though.
2) The chips are TCP style - not PGA, so won't fit a socket 7.
