The development is actually being done by somebody who's using an OEM
version of the Magnum 4000, the Olivetti M700-10.  But that machine is
99.9% identical.

Question: do you know if you have a Magnum 4000SC?  The SC CPU version is
quite a bit faster but the support for it is broken in the kernels you've
tested.

What resolution is you machine running at?  Milo and the kernel only support
the lowres mode (1024 x 768).
