I think the more likely scenario is that the returnees buy a beagleboard
(or successor) and load RO5.18+ to use the OS on modern hardware.

This machine is an RPC, and when I can move the mail functions to a bit of
modern hardware it won't get much (if any) use anymore. It was bought when
the RPC first came out and it owes me nothing.
I might experiment with IDE to SSD conversion but little else.

As Theo says the proposal was to include VFP emulation so that the
functionality was there for slow old machines.

Bear in mind that using a beagleboard based unit versus an older machine
probably saves the cost of the beagleboard in electricity during a 12 month
period.
