AFAIK the AS2100 is the Sable, AS2000 might be the same. There is also a
2100A, called the Lynx. Lynx is PCI only I think, at least it has much more
PCI slots as the Sable. You could board upgrade a Sable to a Lynx (I 've 
done that once)

Last time I put a NetBSD bootfloppy into a AS2100 I had no luck ;-)
