IBM Network Station 1000 thin client: skinny

I have an IBM Network Station 1000 named ``Skinny''. Some thumbnails (click for fill-sized images):

It's an X-terminal/thin client with VTxxx/3270/5250 serial support (it also has Citrix support but I've never tested it). 64MiB of RAM (standard 60ns 72-pin EDO), 2MiB of VRAM on an on-board S3 card, 200Mhz PowerPC 603eV CPU, 10/100 ethernet on-board, PCMCIA slot, completely passive cooling, does 1600x1280 but can only do 256 colors (regardless of resolution). The proprietary OS is based on NetBSD and can either be netbooted or locally booted from a flash card. I use with a Sun-branded triniton 17" monitor as a silent workstation in the living room, currently booting off Athena.
