Well when you run archlinux, uname reveals it to be a sheeva board. Same hardware to the newer pink pogos i think.

Sofa king sweet, can use other usb storage. Im using a class 8 pendrive. The standard software is nice, but doing this gives you full control. You can still run the pogo webui within etc.
I have also heard rumour there is a port of NetBSD that runs on this thing too.
For what they are they are deffo worth their pennies. Ive become a fan of archlinux because of this little beauty and for me to love a linux again is a wonderful flash of how linux used to be back in the 90's.... A fun challenge with many rewards.
They may be low on ram, just use a fast usb storage to add swap.
Kin love these!
