At Present:
PIII 450, Not enough RAM (128 MB, I think), Full tower with:
Caddy for HD0 (IDE)
3½" Floppy drive
100 MB Zip
×36 CD ROM drive (SCSI)
Onboard USB
SCSI card & SCSI HDDs
Spare dock
At present runs Debian Linux (Woody); Win 2000 Pro; Win 98; Win 98SE, all in separate trays.
Need to:
Add extra IDE Channel
Or change the IDE Zip to a SCSI one
Fit IDE DVD-ROM drive
Fit UW SCSI card
Fit UW SCSI HDDs
Install HP Scanjet 6250C to UW SCSI
Download and install up-to-date video driver to all OSs except Debian
Fit recently-acquired 256 MB DIMM
That'll do for a start.
Then there's the spare PII which doesn't work at the moment, but might be coaxed back into life. If it can, there should soon be now is a PIII 500 MHz CPU to graft in if it will work in an AT box, instead of the PII 233MMX which is there just now.
Failing that, All the go-faster goodies might have to fit in this (wot I'm now using) ATX midi-tower - if the PSU is man enough for the job - which I doubt.
PLEASE NOTE
You've been so long answering this ad that the box has 640 MB RAM, and is now influenced by an AMD 900 CPU, and has two IDE hard drives; two Ultra SCSI hard drives and two Ultra Wide SCSI hard drives. It also has a much better graphics card, and both the IDE drives are in caddies, which means the computer will run as a Win 98 box, a Win98SE box, a Win 2000 Pro box and a Debian Linux box. It will also write CDs and DVDs.
And the PIII-450 is being built into yet another (midi-tower) box.
Hurry: before it's too late!
