Hugh, I took this as a cue to revisit one or my own baytrail devices.

The Vensmile battery powered miniPC. I went out of my way to get the 
model with 64GB of storage, which has a different (harder to open) case.

Popped the latest multi-arch Debian ISO (8.7.0) into my trusty ZALMAN 
external drive with virtual CD/DVD function.

Added USB hub for a USB-Ethernet adapter and my keyboard/mouse, and was 
off to the races.

I must report successful 64-bit install, even so far as to get the 
wireless working.

My setup notes are attached for the curious.
