+This machine is the oldest supported hardware but support for it in
+our new installer is incomplete.
+It has RISC OS in ROM, Linux can be booted from that OS using
+linloader. The RiscPC has a modular CPU card and typically has a 30MHz
+610, 40MHz 710 or 233MHz Strongarm 110 CPU fitted. The mainboard has
+integrated IDE, SVGA video, parallel port, single serial port, PS/2
+keyboard and proprietary mouse port. The proprietary module expansion
+bus allows for up to eight expansion cards to be fitted depending on
+configuration, several of these modules have Linux drivers.
