Sat. 23rd August 2008 (5:25PM) - Quicksilver Roars into Life
What?
That's right. After spending a good $65 on a Gigabit Ethernet logic board, i've just gone and repaired my broken Quicksilver board in a last minute turn around. Using an extra 12v supply line plus a few alterations to an ATX I have around here, the Quicksilver has successfully booted up to a disk prompt, countering the belief by the IT administration and myself that the logic board was roasted.
So what does this mean for Silvertooth?
There will be two systems built. The Gigabit Ethernet board will occupy the chassis of my now dead Sawtooth along with a 400mhz CPU module and 384MB of RAM, at least until I can bump up it's specs.
I'll do more soldering tonight and hopefully get the Quicksilver up and running, leaving more time for the Gigabit Ethernet next week.
