Ok, if you're still using it, we can certainly keep it around... but it would be really good to have an old Linux kernel or something similar available online somewhere that we could use for a CI test for this machine, so we can make sure that it does not bitrot... do you happen to know whether such a kernel is available somewhere? Also, please consider volunteering for becoming the maintainer of the machine in the MAINTAINERS file ... currently it's marked as "Orphan" there which was also a strong indication that nobody really cares for this machine anymore.
