(scsi only model) but it does not work becouse: scsi is not regognized, not the ethernet chip either. The test is simple, just boot the installation diskettes and watch for the devices found. (there might be support with a recompiled kernel, but then you can't use the installation diskettes anyway) So the solution is - use PC compatible hardware.
