It's a PWS433a, with two 2GB Digital-firmware drives, 256MB RAM and
Powerstorm 4D50T (Wildcat cateyes?) graphics card. And, oh, the
SCSI-controller is on a seperate card.
I'll revert this baby back to ARC so I can look up the exact message.
(And yes, I've updated to the latest firmware)

This machine was bought as an NT-system. People found out that this baby
didn't run x86-binaries out-of-the-box, so it has been unused after it's
primary application-testing some years ago.
