    What OS are you running on each of them? I'm thinking that
 this could make an interesting portable LINUX workstation and it
 would appear that most of the MCA hardware such as SCSI and NIC cards
 are supported under it.

My P70 runs OS/2 (as it should) and the P75 runs win95 suprisingly well in
16meg. Since P75 runs scsi, it would benefit from a more modern and faster
SCSI drive. Unfortunately for the P70, that drive is ESDI or that modified
IDE that the mod 50s and 70s used.
