Sure thing. I lent it away a few years ago, but I can get it back over
the weekend to give it a try. This one is a stock 3/50 minus the extra 8Mb
board. We'll see what we can do with only 3Mb to work with. I remember
the last time I did get a kernel booting on it (GENERIC, no less) a few 
years ago, it was swapping by the time it hit the login prompt.
