the i960 is a RISC processor. Ummm Is this card like in the middle that goes up all the way? Maybe it's a riser of some kind. Show us the pictures plz

Alright, I work on this computer every once in a while, just trying to figure it out! SPAMI've had it for over a year now, and I still don't understand it...

On the front, it says Distibuted Sniffer System Server. SPAMIts powered by an AT MB, with a Pentium 166. SPAMIt has 8M of ram(and there is some more ram on a card I'll get to later...) an 1.2G HD. SPAMNo CD ROM... SPAMThere is also an old 10/100(manual switching I guess, because my hub only showed it as 10...) SPAMThere is also this full legnth card with an Intel i960 chip on it, what looks like some ram, and 6 lights. SPAMAs it boots, the lights begin to flash. SPAMThere is also a program for that card, and different lights will come on of off, blink, etc...

ANY idea what this thing is. SPAMI'll give as much information as needed/as I can find. SPAMI'll get pictures, screenshots if needed, whatever, I'd just like to know what I have

BTW...it dose NOT run windows. SPAMIt 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...)

OK...here are some pictures of the i960 and the card it's on. SPAMI got the thing running again, but it's only at 10 and not 100 like my other computers... SPAMI 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...

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.

hehe...dind't you read my post again. SPAMI screwed up the subject, and I tried to delete the message, but you'd already posted, so the message just stayed there... SPAMI 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...)

Learn DOS!

HEY now! SPAMI know dos! SPAM>:( SPAMI just don't know the all these stupid programs that run the server!

Alright...don't worry about it... SPAMAfter searching ebay, I found a computer, much like mine, just older. SPAMApparently, 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...)
