This one is interesting - the BIOS reports the CPU as a Celeron. It ought to be able to distinguish between a Celeron and a Pentium II, but there's a bug in that code, so it actually can't tell the difference.
However, what it reports is still wrong - the image requires a Pentium III.
Next, since there's no video hooked up, I just used the usual Trident 960 one to see what happens. Unfortunately, that video BIOS doesn't support VESA modes 0x101 and 0x114, so the splash screen is displayed incorrectly, and the game complains about an unsupported video mode.
With a bit of debugging help, the game does start to load, but it takes about 30 minutes(!) to decompress itself.
Eventually, it probes the PCI bus for the video card, but fails to find one, and hangs.
It's still progress, apparently.
