I plan to fire up the old server and upgrade it. First I'll have to do a few "apt-get update" cycles.

Since its only 802.11b, that doesn't really work well over WiFi, but it worked well with some Cat5. Yes, its too dumb to talk to online services. So its mostly an historical artifact.

Somewhere I have a Radio, and I uncovered the SB1 recently. I even had the hack installed in the Controller to let it be a player as well. I've got a Raspberry Pi in a box somewhere, once I uncover it, I'll check if it has the proper pins. Its a very early version, so I may be forced to squander another $35 to get a current rev of the R-Pi Thanks for the overview.
