In my experience, as long as you use identical hardware (NIC's, motherboard) and use the PIX flash card, I see no reason why it wouldn't work just fine. The ones I've worked with was a Pentium Pro mobo (Intel VS440FX) and a Pentium II mobo (Intel AL440LX). If you use those, I see no reason why it shouldn't work. I think they use either Intel Etherexpress 100 NIC's or 3Com 3c905B Nic's, although I'm pretty sure it's the former.

The PIX is Intel Processoe based though. The OS is proprietary and not based on any UNIX or other well knwon kernel. It is hardened. YOu would also have to be able to load a bootstrap loader onto the PC. It would be interesting if you got this to work. Please keep posted. ----- Original Message ----- From: "William E Gragido" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Cisco Cisco" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2000 5:49 PM Subject: RE: PIX > No kidding, well, I don't know...the quick reference guides never really go > too far in detail and I have never seen anyone rip a pix apart just to see > what makes it tick.
