Same hardware too, but with different CPU card. (CPU is on a daughterboard with RAM, with most electronics on a backbone)
Good luck to me finding the Pentium Pro board, the machine is rare as it is. It would be cool though to upgrade it to the PPro. Then it would be the top of the line 1996 model!
Back in 2004-2006 I actually used this as a main desktop. 56k USR Dial Up Modem, Matrox PCI Video, Sound Blaster, and Windows 2000 made it into a pretty decent machine for use. Win2k pushed the limit a bit on the Dual 166mhz CPU, but with the fast RAID disks it would beat the snot out of plenty of slightly newer computers.
So, I aim to restore this old workhorse. It will go well sitting next to the 9500.
