It could be marked as "BROKEN" for a year to find out for sure ;-)

Apparently there were only two or three models that are old enough to
have a 601 and new enough to run Linux with PCI and OF: 7200/8200
and 7500. These were sold for less than 18 months around 1996,
though one can still find them on eBay.
