I just opened it up and checked, and it is the 68LC040.  This particular
one seems to have a ~230MB hard drive and 24MB of RAM (I'm guessing 8MB on
the motherboard and 16MB in SIMMs).

Depending on how I decide to do things, this might not be much of a
problem.  I could probably just have the kernel and loader on the MacOS
partition and do everything else over the network...  Err, maybe some
local swap space would be nice too...
