It's an Integrator/CP.  It has a network card and a serial port, and
that's about it - NFS root works, now that the network card's been
fixed.  I use some "fake hard drive" patches inspired by Paul, and I'll
post them if anyone really, really wants to see them, but they're
hideous.  Emulation of something with PCI and an IDE controller is pretty
high up on my list :-)

It appears to work fairly well.  I was able to run debian-installer in
it with only a few glitches (d-i does not like systems without hard
drives!).
