I don't know anything about EDD or 'packet interface' but I do have a
Epox MVP-3C or MVP-3G board (socket 7, BIOS dated 1999) and a CPU K6-2
anything laying around. I think the board will fit your needs (quite a
bit unsure). I'm somewhat limited on IDE devices (just a 4 or 8g is
laying around, scsi is not a problem).

Unfortunately rebuilding world + kernel on a machine like that takes
~18 hours but I'm able to set this up. What do you want to test? Do
you need remote (ssh/openvpn) access to it? Interested in that machine?
