Well now, that sounds like my kind of project :)
Is the PS/1 computer I described even the same one you mentioned?
Well, the ones I am talking about are all IBM PS/1's. The later ones are
basically Aptiva's (craptiva's), and are built by Acer, rather than
IBM-PCCO/Guadalajara.

I would. I've installed NetBSD on an IBM PS/1.

It isn't worth it. They are slow, useless PC's that have parts of DOS
burned into ROM.
Woo...sounds like a real challenge then :)
I'll save it as a project for a slow month sometime.
