I am starting a new hdw project. Just because I can. So, I come to the Collective to share ........... :)
I wish to try and push an old PC as far as I am able. The old PC has family sentimental value. I do burn trons with it each month, but, if my retrofit works, I may back up, say, "Whoa!", AND, just truck on with it until its' old cpu croaks! It is an Intel P6-Pro/256, 512MB RAM (max), old Micronics 'Lightning' m/b. This stack runs Windows XPpro ATM! Yes. Slow, but very solid w/o crashes. I use a modern Intel GB NIC! I use an Adaptec 29160 SCSI controller. The video card is an old Matrox Mill2 4MB. All total, a true dinosaur today! 1st Q: Does our Collective still have active/lurker members that still do SCSI? I need to bounce some really OLD stuff around (back channel). Thought? Suggestions? Best of Season! Duncan
