Hmmm,
What are the technical specs of the machines?
I think that you would have to use *nix to get that working anything like reasonable? GUIs are great resource gobblers.
I have an old PI/133MHz that I upgraded just for fun. 320Mb RAM, 60Gb and 14.4Gb drives, Rockwell 56.6 modem. SiS 32Mb PCI graphics card, It boots Win98SE at the moment. I have gotten it to benchmark within 12% of a PII/266 with 128Mb, but I did "cheat" and put WinME on the PII.
I also have ethernet cards, and a pile of old networking stuff I haven't even looked at. As well as legit copies of Win3.11 for workgroups, NT4.0 and Novell Netware..............
Hey, sounds like a bit of fun?
Maybe attach a couple of 486s to it?
I also have an old IBM PC350 server..............you can mount a 386 or 486 processor........I used an Intel "Overdrive" 486/66 as that is the best the MoBo supports.............this one is a SCSI box with 200Mb and 2Gb drives! I know I have a 28.8 ISA modem somewhere................it is all ISA.
I guess you do it out of neccessity...............I do it for fun
Hi............meet another "sad b*****d"
Cheers
