Folks,

I just lucked into an Axil 255, which I had never actually heard of. There
was a post on this list back in 2002 where someone had one, but I
apparently missed it.

The machine even works, except for the (expected) IDPROM failure:

> Axil-255, No Keyboard
> ROM Rev. 2.15, 128 MB memory installed, Serial #11184826.
> Ethernet address aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa, Host ID: aaaaaaba.
>

> The IDPROM contents are invalid

> Internal loopback test -- Did not receive expected loopback packet.

> Type  help  for more information

Color me happy! I'll have to do some investigating and testing.

I'm going to guess that the original MAC address and hostid are lost, but
since I don't have any HDDs installed in it, yet, that's not a big deal.

Has anyone else either used, or still got, one of these?
