What actual server was it? Torch made quite a few different models based
around 'beeb with bits attached'. Generally they were Xebec bridge boards,
although I've seen Adaptecs used.
Some of their Xebecs ran with custom Torch firmware, but I should have ROM
images somewhere (and possibly some docs on what the exact mods were to the
stock firmware)
Filesystem might be CP/N, or some form of SysV derivative (Linux will probably
read the latter, although I've found the timestamps sometimes get messed up
when reading oddball SysV flavours)
cheers
