Sounds like an IPX, IPC or LX - I'll have to
look at mine to see what
model # it has on it. Either way, there should be a tag with
the model on
the front (Unless it has fallen off or
something). It's the "Lunch Box"

Well, that got me closer to home. It is an IPC and looks like it isn't
really worth the time and effort. Just wonering how well they run Linux
with X. Looks like a really low grade Sun, with the usual
killer gfx output.
IIRC, IPCs had mono onboard video.
