NCD 451 thin client: skinny16

Thanks to J. Seth Henry from the FreeBSD mailing list (who is also listed as a contributor on the webpage below), I have an NCD 451 named ``Skinny16'' (because it's a thin client that can handle 16-bit colour). This particular example has 2MiB of video RAM and 24MiB of main system RAM. It boots from a 12MB pccard, which is handy as I don't need to set up a netbooting host for it. Interestingly, the power cord, keyboard, mouse and pccard insert on the bottom of the unit (VGA and network are on the back) which makes cable management a lot tider than might otherwise be the case.

There are pictures and lots of technical info at the webpage of C. Falconer.
