It's revision 2.0, Bios JI438, 1MB cache, K6-2/300 then later a K6-2/450. I 
used NetBSD 1.4.1 and 1.5_ALPHA* on it and got errors on both.

IIRC the errors were much more common and damaging on 1.5. If the daily 
scripts ran I could be assured of either a corrupted filesystem panic or a 
total lockup with most processes in D state.
