BeBox is operational! didn't like the big IDE drive at all. So it has an older 800MB SCSI drive in it, installing PR1 on it now I found 4.5 too, but it's not booting from that CD
errr reinstalling PR1. for whatever reason mouse didn't want to work after putting the SCSI drive inside the machine(did it first in an external enclosure) see if that persists after a restart. and I only have the mouse at the moment, still need to get a crappy old PC keyboard. why not use a PS/2 keyboard port!? it's using a PS/2 mouse port... :?:
the DEC is won't boot from the redhat CDs, starts trying than poops out with errors, wonder if something is wrong with the NeXT CD drive... or some SCSI glitchypoovoodoocrap. Otherwise I think that machine is functional, it is for sure the 233MHz and it says it has 152MB RAM. so the two unmarked SIMMS are 64MB (also has two 12MB SIMMS)
