The Model 170 is single-CPU and allows less memory, but otherwise they are
quite similar. From reading the ofppc source I would say there is a high
probability that both models are supported.

I doubt that. So your report would be quite valuable. Please tell us about
your experiences with it.

I'm running 7.0 on my Pegasos II, which is the only ofppc platform I have.
