For K6s and Pentium 1s. I have an old Pentium 200 that I'm commissioning as a small server/firewall. Too slow for the desktop, but perfect for that.
BTW, I had previously discarded the idea of using this machine because the bios wouldn't support a disk larger than 8GB and there are no updates available, but plug in a $35 PCI IDE controller and you have a machine that can handle 130GB plus drives at ATA100. Not bad to turn what was otherwise a box too slow for anything useful into a server suitable for a small LAN. As for the pun - a big no comment :-) cheers Brian On Mon, 2002-04-29 at 09:06, FemmeFatale wrote: > Brian Parish wrote: > > > > Kaj, > > > > Having just done this one myself and feeling very proud to have found > > the solution in the errata without Femme having to tell me first, I can > > assure you that geekiness is not a requirement.
