Yes, it was me miss reading. I have not seen the NEMHI_AB patch.

I did not fit it, so I will have to check these details with the person
who did. Toolkit 5 definetly does not like booting with Nemisis, however
toolkit 4 driver seems a bit better, and will boot about 25% of the time
with MagiC, however it will only remain stable for at the most, 30
minutes.
