There is one _small_ gotcha.  Since that machine, at least according to
the Machine Status page, doesn't have a way to add an FPU (math
coprocessor), you'll need to get a special math library that gets around
some problems that remain in the floating point emulation.  You can find
info about it at the FAQ on puma.
