It looks like this neoware unit came out after the HP take over as it doesn't carry the usual Neoware XX-XX-XX part number. (Well there is one but has had a plain white label put over the top. Through it I can just make out DC-00-00).
The basic specs are:

For those to whom it matters here is some detail from Linux's /proc/cpuinfo
vendor_id : CentaurHauls cpu family : 6 model : 13 model name : VIA Eden Processor 800MHz stepping : 0
The Neoware CA21 has an integral mains power supply and just requires a mains lead with the usual IEC style socket.
Both the Flash memory and the RAM in the CA21 are easily replaceable.
Flash: The flash is a "DiskOnModule" that interfaces via a 44-pin IDE connector. I've connected various laptop drives and Compact Flash cards to this interface and booted various flavours of Linux.
RAM: The RAM is a 200-pin DDR SODIMM. The 512MB SODIMM fitted to my model is a PC2-4200S.
