Hello from an old year 1997 Machine!
This snac server is now running on a Micronics Spitfire with 2x Pentium II @ 233MHz and 512MB SD-RAM. Operating System is NetBSD 10.1, installed on a 120GB SSD (SATA->IDE converter)

OpenBSD wasn't able to run snac stable on this machine, it crashed after a few requests with "illegal instruction".

Alright, I am now owning (when received) a brand new and sealed Micronics Spitfire EX (09-00302-XX) Dual Slot 1 Mainboard and two Pentium II 350MHz. Unfortunately the 440LX chipset only support 66MHz FSB CPU's, so my ordered CPUs will only run at ~233MHz, which will be fine for me in the first place. Maybe I can do some overclock or so.
I really hope I have enough large SD Ram lying around to pack it up with the maximum of 1GB.
Pentium II is new enough to run a modern Linux Kernel on it, but I feel like I am more interested in throwing #OpenBSD on it, because I never really hacked around with it yet and it would fit IMHO better to this hardware.
Running a #snac instance on it, would be an idea. I really wonder, how that will perform.
Stay tuned.

Look at his beauty I have just discovered in a moisty barn ! 🥰😍

Dual Pentium II ! AGP, PCI,PCI-X,… ISA !!! And internal SCSI !

Don't know if it works, but I think I have found the perfect setup for DOS/Win9x games ! (And early Linux distros and Haiku/BeOS for the SMP part!)

Someone just donated a Fieldworks FW 8000-366 Pentium II PC… It runs but weighs 3.3kg… mostly of magnesium from the case I suspect. Not sure where I'll find room for it.

Threw away my oldest working computer today. It was from late 1997 and was file server for a few years (windows), then my mail server until 2010 (Linux), then it was a NAS again for a short while for archives (Linux again), then was retired.

So, dann fehlt nur noch ein zweiter alter PC mit Netzwerkkarte, eine kleine Mini-Switch aus dem Kaugummi-Automaten und es kann losgehen 🥰 nach dem Winter ist vor dem Winter 😂 aber dann wird's bestimmt was für den nächsten Jahreswechsel 🙈
Wer von euch hat ein Windows 98 startklar oder geplant für eine LAN Party?
