    Good Points: Nice unit for collectors, built in sound card and NIC (in its time it was very rare)


    Bad Points: Does not boot from CD-ROM (probably needs BIOS update)


    General comments: I bought this computer used in not working condition but complete for 50$.
    After repair I've got very interesting and rare old timer.
    This computer came out with Intel Pentium II 266MHZ CPU when Intel still had not a proper chipset for it, so it uses 440FX chipset (that was made for Pentium Pro).
    It has 2 CPU slots (only one is installed), 8 memory SIMM sots, 2 channel IDE controller, built in soundcard and NIC.
    My computer is equipped with ADAPTEC SCSI controller PCI card and 9G Ultra WIde SCSI drive 7.2K RPM, 256M ECC SIMM memory, Matrox Millennium display adapter with DVI.
    I installed Solaris 8 on it, and it runs very well.
    From its past, its owner told me that it was used like server on Windows NT 4.0, and it originally had 256M of RAM and SCSI 9G hard disk.

    Probably this computer is from 1997, so it came out with 256M memory and 9G hard disk when normal desktop was Pentium 166MMX with 16-32M of memory and 2-4G hard disk.

    I can recommend this computer only for collectors or for application like print server for home use.
