I *think* we had some 286 DeskPros but I'm not positive. Up till the DeskPros we had been using Banyan's proprietary BNS/CNS HW...yuk. Although, in hindsight, it was pretty amazing what they could get out of a 286 or Moto 68000 processor

First Novell servers were the Compaq Deskpro, the OLD style like the IBM AT case, with 2x2 drive bays. Even worked on a few old 286 systems in that form factor. Back then used to be a big name storage add-on cabinet that everyone swore by until the SystemPro came out. Don't know what ever happened to them, but I don't think they made it far past the DCB SCSI era Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ________________________________ From: Free, Bob [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, December 04, 2009 4:21 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: OT RE: HP drive sleds First Compaq servers I worked on were the 386/25 Deskpros, I think they had 2 100MBs. We also had some AST crap, when we got the first SystemPros we thought we died and went to heaven ...
