Well, it is not insulting, since I'm really not sure of it. The machine don't have labels, and I can't open it. Since it was running DOS (version 5.something) I thought it was something standard, or sort of. Maybe that's the reason. I'll look for the port, even because, it could be for me the first oportunity tu run Linux a on non Intel machine.

Thanks a lot. I'm just afraid I can't go get the CD, because I'm confined in what Dennis McMurchy calls the "Dark Kyushu". You didn't took that from somewhere else, did you?

Once more, thank you. Now I maybe have something to do in the next weeks.
