The PS/2 uses a different bus: MicroChannel. I have the same hardware as
you do here, waiting for me to find some time to install Debian on it.
I've read a couple of things, and MCA support is present in the 2.1.x
kernels (x arround 30 or 40, I think). I know I have to compile a new
kernel to install this, but I haven't found the time yet. Maybe in a
couple of days. If nobody else has done this, I might try to build
installation floppies for MCA, but I'm not sure about when.

If I get something going here, I'll let you know.
