You have made more progress with your Celebris than I have with mine.  So
far all I've done is:

1.  Check out the inboard scsi zip100 drive.  Read a disk, but seemed to
be emitting 'click of death'.

2.  Wiped w95 off and installed freebsd (ancient version).  Didn't do much
with it.

3.  Installed another 128meg to bring it up to 160.

4.  Pulled out the video card with 2 meg ram and replaced it with an ATI
with 64 meg (PCI, not AGP).

It has a P2 100 mhz, so is not a real speed demon!  Also, it won't boot
from CD, so OS installs are a PITA.
