Er, it's a model 8362... From playing with the firmware, (iirc, it's been a 
while
since I played with this thing hardcore) you can specify a host to pull a kernel
off of (as well as a path?) [or am I thinking about where it pulls the settings
from? as I said, it's been a while]... In any case, mine has IDE connectors as
well as the PCMCIA connectors (though not the 'port' -- this model didn't come
with pcmcia afaik)... If I don't fall asleep in the next few minutes, I'll have
mine up and I'll start poking at it to see what I can figure out.
