[CoLoCo] need to build a lab for TIE

[Neal McBurnett]

Thanks, David!

I think the experience of getting a more diverse lab of old machines
working would tell us a lot about a very interesting and very
inexpensive option.  And if it works we can really impress them with
what is possible!!

They do have to be able to boot off the network....
