try this
PLoP Boot Manager v5.0

You need to edit USB sdX1 partition FAT32 to some other FAT32 who support your MB. Then mount img file on USB.

It will be supported for oldest mainboards on SMOS 2GB USB.
PloP did it. Altough it wasn't smooth. I had to make some random changes in PloP settings. Not sure if it would boot again. EDIT: It boots. I just need to enable USB 1.1 in PloP.
Now it's clearly some motherboard compatibility issue.
Hope SMOS 2GB would work when it's done.

BTW, big + for SMOS against orginal BAMT. I recently got a second gpu and couldnt make it to run on BAMT. And SMOS is able to run it. Altough it's loud and high temp (85). Probably because it's used.
