Yes, believe it or not I need to ideally test on a consumer-level box c.1998, so
kind of the simpler the better, with only the following core specs:


- cpu: PII 400MHz (a bit higher or lower ok etc) 

- HD: IDE, at least 6.4 GB or thereabouts (preferably less than 8GB though but
I'll take what I can get!)

- ram: 64MB SDRAM (fairly slow SDRAM though I imagine)

- mobo/chipset & video card: Anything mainstream from that period I think will do

- LAN card: It would be nice to get a 10/100 card from this era, but a 10bt
would do nicely as well

For my needs the less complicated the better - to minimize driver issues among
other things - in that sense, a netfinity or any multiproc, scsi-based or
otherwise loaded box might be overkill, but again its seeming harder than I
thought to get my hands on stuff so I'll take what I can get

So yes, if there's any bits n pieces I could assemble into working box that'd be
superb also - Erik, I'll try to call, or email you off list. But since Ideally
I'd aquire/build two boxes, I'd scoop up whatever bits et al you guys may have
from the period --

thanks all
david
