Interesting but would prefer not to throw more money after this thing right
now.

There are 5 partitions on the MMC drive
(trying to reproduce - - from gparted )
/dev/mmcblk0p1      EFI system partition                fat 32
system drive   260.00 MiB
/dev/mmcblk0p2      Microsoft Reserved partition   unknown
             16.00 MiB
/dev/mmcblk0p3      basic data partition                  ntfs
  Windows         56.96 GiB
/dev/mmcblk0p4
              WINRE_DRV  1000.00 MiB



I would think that this is a 'bootable' drive - - - - will wait for
confirmation of that.

Surely there must be some way of installing onto this MMC drive - - - yes?

Over to y'all.
