These are MIPS machines...  I do believe that they are R5000-based
machines, but don't quote me on that.  As for what they are: IDE hard
disk, PCI bus with one open slot, they use DIMM memory, built-in dual
ethernet, built-in serial ports, NO graphics, but that could be changed
using the PCI slot...  I emailed Cobalt about this, and they said it could
be done, but I was on my own.  I have no kernel/driver prowess whatsoever,
and I didn't have the money to sink in one of these ultra-cool little
machines, so it never got done.  As for getting anything but Linux 2.0 to 
run on these, it would be a daunting task, but it could be done.  I don't
know how open Cobalt is on their specs.  That's just about all I know
about these things...  Hope this helps at least somewhat.
