I'm not sure what the motherboard model number is. It is called a Miata, this version is probably the MX5, as opposed to the later MiataGL, which I think has USB ports and various bug fixes. It came with a Matrox Millenium II, which I replaced with an S3 card I thought would be more compatible with the Plan 9 alpha kernel.
