What's with the Intel Inside sticker? :p I don't remember that one. Was it on your pkgsrc build "rack"?
It wasn't on my rack at the time, but it will be soon. After all, there are no m68k machines in my rack at home because both of my m68060s are in the datacenter rack.

The Intel Inside sticker (good eyes) was us being silly whenever it was that Pentium II (we called them Nintendo cartridge processors) was new.

Nice upgrade, you've increased the value of that Mac by one hundred fold! :) What's the card in the PDS slot?
Well, value is measured different ways by different people. I'd say that it has a certain value while it's running reliably which is higher than when it's not running, so yes, I've increased its value, but it always had a lot of sentimental value.

The card is a Farallon EtherWave LC which has two 10baseT ports set up as a hub. Someone was selling it on eBay as a dual ethernet card, which I knew it wasn't, but I thought it'd be cool to have a pass-through.

Another thought is that I have a 64 gig SSD coming back from warranty replacement, so I might put that in. We'll see. For now, it'll be compiling NetBSD pkgsrc along with one of my m68060s.
