This is the IGEL WinNET III thin client, which uses the mainboard ASI MB-5BLMP. ASI (Aquarius Systems, Inc.) seems to be Bcom now.
There's a small manual (PDF) for the MB-5BLMP.
Hardware

- 1x DIMM socket (168 pins): not populated per default
- 1x DIP32 BIOS chip
- 1x DIP32 Disk on Chip (DoC)
- 1x IDE (40 pin connector for ATAPI 3.5" IDE hard drives or CDROM drives)
- VGA: integrated in the chipset, max. resolution 1280x1024 (8 bpp)
- Super I/O chip: NSC PC87351
- Connectors:

- Audio: Line-in, line-out, Mic
- Internal expansion slots:
- 1x ISA
- 1x PCI (shared)
- Ethernet: Realtek RTL8138B (10/100 Mbit), might support Boot ROM and Wake-on-LAN
- Internal power supply (25 W or 60 W, 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz)
Status
coreboot + FILO can boot a Linux kernel (e.g. 2.6.20) just fine.
However, as the PIRQ table in coreboot is not yet fixed (this is on my TODO list), you have to use the Linux kernel parameter irqpoll at the moment.
Building a payload
Building a coreboot image
See the Build HOWTO for information on how to build coreboot for this board.
Flashing the image
$ flashrom -vw coreboot.rom
