I'll vouch for that.  Plan9 works fine on my gw2k DX266 with:

   16M RAM
   PCI bus
   2 Western Digital Caviar (EIDE) hard drives
   Microsoft mouse (2-button, PS2)
   1M Cirrus Logic CLGD-5430 video card
   SoundBlaster 16 sound card

I have Windoze on master, and Linux and Plan9 on slave.

Someday I may hack in IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM support.  It's been done before.
