It's supposed to support all PS/2 hardware, but I couldn't boot a Model/70
with a Slackware 3.4 boot disk. It couldn't find the hard drive. Maybe the
2.2 kernel does, but I'm not inclined to try it. I'd much rather play
around with Mk-Linux which runs on a Macintosh, which is much better
designed than a PS/2. Of course, I'm running it on a standard AT clone :)
