can you manually format a harddrive and install windows for workgroups (3.11) then manually configure the tcp/ip to the shared network, internet ect.. you probably dont have a clue if it isnt a plug and play os do you.. remember the comp is not just plug in a cdrom drive into a ide port and go.. the ide is on the sound card which is connected to a risor card which is then connected to the motherboard.. that means that their is no floppy boot disc that has drivers to recognize the cdrom drive..

o and by the way my real job is lead tech for a major telecom company .. and the technology i am an expert in is asychronic transfer mode .. (atm) and no that has nothing to do with bank machines like you are thinking..

and by the way I have two degrees from Purdue university..

enough said.. I am smarter than you are and that is a fact mr. plugnplay lol...

While the processor is slow what kind of speed can you pull data off that HD?

Also what kind of HD space are we talking about here.

More than enough speed to pull off the 33mbps required to mount a DVD over Daemon Tools and stream it realtime (Actually, you only need just a bit more than 10mbps for that). It runs NT4 at the moment - I'll be putting 2k on as soon as I can find my extra 256mb DIMM.

At the moment, it's got about 80gb between a 3 drives - the biggest being 60 gigs and the other two being for utility uses

I think I speak for everyone here when I say.




Remote access?;)

Dialup.

I've been playing around with this - you need proper drivers for the sound card, and then it's happy (Well, my SB16+IDE and Analog Devices+IDE)

And if you can't toss in a DOS bootdisk and type format, you really need to die. WFW is easy to install, assuming you have the disks, and TCP/IP config is... Well, it depends on how much tiem you spend on the internet. If you're certifiably addicted, then it's almost second nature.

But when did this become a pissing contest?

I used to have 13 all 1600+ or better. (3 duals) and all ran 24/7. I sold them all off when I went to the unemployment line. I have posted pics of my huge 8' racking setup that I used, along with my 2 workstations, one with 3 systems, the other with 4.

I have exactly 3 now. a 1700+, a 1600+ and a 2000+.
