Re: What is the computer!
Alright, I work on this computer every once in a while, just trying to figure it out! I've had it for over a year now, and I still don't understand it...
On the front, it says Distibuted Sniffer System Server. Its powered by an AT MB, with a Pentium 166. It has 8M of ram(and there is some more ram on a card I'll get to later...) an 1.2G HD. No CD ROM... There is also an old 10/100(manual switching I guess, because my hub only showed it as 10...) There is also this full legnth card with an Intel i960 chip on it, what looks like some ram, and 6 lights. As it boots, the lights begin to flash. There is also a program for that card, and different lights will come on of off, blink, etc...
ANY idea what this thing is. I'll give as much information as needed/as I can find. I'll get pictures, screenshots if needed, whatever, I'd just like to know what I have
BTW...it dose NOT run windows. It has DR DOS 5.0 on it...
(sorry, I saw a mistake in the Subject, and I tried to remove the whole messager...didn't work...)

Re: What is the computer!
OK...here are some pictures of the i960 and the card it's on. I got the thing running again, but it's only at 10 and not 100 like my other computers... I DID however, find out it's running TCP/IP, so it seems it I can get my computers to 10, or this computer to 100, it shouldn't be much of a problem to access it...

Re: What is the computer!
why the hell is my post on top???
oh well. it *looks* the board holding the 960 is a board on the riser board.
I doubt you could load window on that sucker. Perhaps dos, or unix because of the RISC Processor.

Re: What is the computer!
hehe...dind't you read my post again. I screwed up the subject, and I tried to delete the message, but you'd already posted, so the message just stayed there... I just decided to repost the origanal message...
I also think you missed, it also has a p166 in it...
However, I do not want windows on it, I want it to run with the origanal software thats on it(I just have no idea how to use it...)

Re: What is the computer!
Alright...don't worry about it... After searching ebay, I found a computer, much like mine, just older. Apparently, the transport card controls a WAN box, so it's basically usless...
I've already made a neat little 98 box, and I'm saving the card for later use(if I ever find the nessasary hardware...)
