Thanks!

So does it means, that at the Android version with the x64 version of the BIOS that this is a 64bit BIOS?
Also some more settings at the IGD at the x64 version of the BIOS...

Could you please verify the following information?

MINIX NEO Z64A is having a 64-bit UEFI running a 64-bit Android 4.4.4
MINIX NEO Z64W is having a 32-bit UEFI running a 32-bit Windows 8.1

If Z64A has a 64-bit UEFI, can all 64-bit Linux distributions be installed easily?

Are the two provided flashable UEFIs interchangeable between the two devices, or are there some minor hardware differences? Having the ability to install either Windows 8.1 (Pro) 32-bit or 64-bit would be a nice option, although not critical.

True

Theoretically - but it depends on the installer used by the distro though

I'm not sure anyone wants to risk testing the interchangeability of the two UEFI BIOS as you could end up with a bricked device ... as in truly bricked!

Have you heard of anyone successfully dumping a bios from one of these yet? I spent a few hours trying to read directly from the eeprom with a soic/buspirate and I could only get it to recognize a generic flash chip e.g. not supported model so I think MINIX may be used some weird bios chip here
