Oh, it's not that interesting.  It's a Power Mac 7600 with a Sonnet
G3/300 card installed.

I just pulled one of the Barracudas out of its can, and it's an
ST15150N.  It'd be a great disk for the G3, except ....  it doesn't
spin up.  (Yes, I jumpered 'motor start enable'.)

Suppose I could try a few others tomorrow.
