Oh, the BIOS on these boxes is pretty plain-Jane Award

Soundblaster emulation and all. Even has a menu item for legacy floppies,
although the box doesn't have them. USB floppies work fine though.
I recall taking a drive that I had installed a Debian (Squeeze? I don't
recall) distro on for an HP P3 e-PC and taking the drive and pugging it into
a Neoware CA21 and finding that the system came right up, complete with
network support.
So, if it's not PC-compatible, it's almost so. I'll see if I get a chance
to dump the content of DoM and try it on a standard desktop.
Oh, OK, then, fair enough! I didn't think that the x86 version of
WinCE was targeted at PC-compatibles, but apparently, I'm wrong.
Always happy to learn from my errors!
