It's probably about the best-supported machine there is (odd, given I
haven't got one).  8Mb of memory is enough to boot multi-user, and the IDE
hard disc should work properly as well.  All you need to go with it is a
supported Ethernet card.

The FPA should be detected but not used.  I got part-way through adding
FPU support to the kernel, and got distracted.  Do tell me if it blows up
interestingly -- I've got an FPPC card, but no FPA.
