Hello, y'all
Well its up and running! yes I finally got the old box
up and operating. My IBM PC Server 315 is now on all
done. Well, I have not upgraded the ram yet, I'm still
using 64mb of ecc edo ram, and will upgrade it when I
can afford it. I wonder can up just add ram and
reconfigure the OS or will I need to do a reinstall?
Anyway, I've got it installed. It has Mandrake 7.0 on
it. I had a of trouble with the video card though it
seems that Mandrake did not like the one I picked or
the system. I had an ARK 2000 MT or VP; well I gave up
and changed it to a S3 Verge DX and now it cooking
with gas. I did a custom install and it saw all the
hardware fine. This box has 3 scsi drives 9gigs in
total, 100bt nic, AHA 2940 scsi card, 56K ISA Modem,
and a Soundblaster 16 value soundcard which was a
little of a pain to configure in Mandrake. Mandrake
seems a bit buggy, its will not accept my
configuration setting, but rebooted will detect the
hardware and show it listed finally! Then it will
accept my configuration settings! Boy what a pain!
Well, now I've got sound! I still have to play with
the modem for fax, but I've got DSL and that was no
problem setting up at all! ie:running DHCP. I need EDO
ECC unbuffered anybody have any to sell? Maybe at the
next meeting if these space I'll bring it in. Thats
the one nice thing about linux you can use legacy
equipment!
