The specific request is a mod that will either unlock an existing, or add a ROM module to enable Legacy Boot/CSM.

Please let me know if you need anything else. I’ll scrape up any more info I can find.
There is a $200 bounty for this. It’s important to me this resource-starved stick supports DOS and older Windows boot ability because I want to use it that way…as is, it only supports Linux. I plan to buy 10 more of these and at least a couple I’ll use with older DOS/Windows games and applications. I’m extremely stubborn and don’t give up easily, but my full intent is to make it completely worth your time. I’ll need to set up the bounty with a 3rd party if that’s possible because it’s a good chunk of money and I don’t want someone taking it and leaving me with nothing.
I think the CSM may already be in there but simply locked down and/or hidden based on what I saw in UEFITool (which I find difficult to use since I’m not knowledgeable enough).
If the CSM module is not in there, then I guess I have to find ROM module and a menu entry in the BIOS has to be adjusted to show it.
I have no idea if there are different CSM modules…I would think there’s just one that’s generic created by AMI for Intel (and everyone else as they were apparently the original creator).
I did happen to find this if it’s useful to anyone:
