You should call Gimix (or GMX, as they now call themselves) for details--you
may have a system with a CPU board that will only support Level One (i.e. no
memory mapping hardware).  They can tell you what you'll need to run Level
Two, and can sell you a version that will be correct for your hardware.

Microware is still around (otherwise I wouldn't be posting from here :-).
