Well, I was digging through my storage in the depths of Lab 2...and guess what I found!
My old Compaq Proliant 1500 Workstation/Server! The thing is a beast of 1994! Yes, that tall thing on the left is a computer.
Specs:
Dual Pentium 1 Socket 5 at 166mhz
12 banks of 72 pin SIMMs (Currently 82mb)
8 EISA Slots
4 PCI Slots
Hot Swap SCSI-2 Array (I lost the trays
Need to find them...)
Hot Swap PSU (400w)
Compaq SCSI-2 RAID Controller
3Com 1/100 Ethernet PCI NIC
This machine made a beast for Windows NT 4. I seek to restore this computer to its former glory. Unfortunately it uses one of those stupid Rayovac 4.5 volt batteries that you cant find a replacement for anywhere, time to rig 3 AA batteries together. The system has a highly advanced BIOS that is configured using a set of 4 floppies. Unfortunately it needs a working battery to even operate correctly. Without it it complains of defective 2nd CPU, missing RAM, faulty controller information, faulty everything, and it thinks its 1980.
Now...what do I fill 8 EISA slots with? Its easier to fill Nubus...
One cool thing is how the front is covered in LEDs once HDDs are added. 3 LEDs for each drive.
An oddity about this PC is how its licensed to run SCO Unix. The serial sticker is on the back.
Sad thing is how it makes a 9500 look short.
So now I have about 4 projects going at once. Working on my IIfx and Q800, that server thing, cleaning up all my stuff and performing a liquidation of stuff I dont need but others may need.
Yay. ;D
