Marvel is the new (last?) EV7 platform.  I've got access to an ES47
with 8GB of ram, but I haven't had time to finish my port.  Its been
stalled since this spring due to moving house, and job pressures.

machines are so low performance that they're not worth any effort.
Ditto for CIA based machines.
