I've got a Tomcat II from right after Tyan figured out the bad COAST
problem, and it's running dual P120's. It's had no hardware related
problems and has run linux 2.0.x SMP for I think about 2 years. I've also
got a production server that's a Tomcat IIID running dual P150's. I had
some trouble with the 128mb of memory on it, but that's what I get for not
sticking to Tyan's approved memory list. Slowing the memory timings a bit
has let it run stable ever since. Last couple of reboots have been just
to upgrade kernels for security fixes.

The Tomcat II has been up even longer...but recently, it does very
little other than sit there and contribute to warming the room. It
used to be my kernel compile box...but then I got a PII workstation
that compiles kernels in about 1/2 - 1/3 the time.
