 |
|
So... I was in a computer store here in Cleveland the other day, and found something, shall I say, interesting.
Not 1, but 2 Daystar Genesis MP systems.
I asked about them, and was told 'If I bought one, I had to take the other one...'
Quick specs on the systems.
Both have 4 604e processors, at 233MHz each, 1536 MB ram, and 6 9.1GB ultra160 scsi drives on an adaptec controller.
I'm guessing they were used for video editing, however no hardware or software for that.
$10 dollars, a backache, and a less-than-happy wife later, I'm quite pleased! |

Install the BeOS!!! It'll do SMP with all 4 processors. Bar possibly Linux, no other OS will do them justice! |

Congrats on the great finds.

not to resurrect a dead post, but after a flood, one of the 2 systems was destroyed... Happens to be the one I scavenged all the ram and such for out of the other system
It did run BeOS wonderfully!!
Now I have a 'bare bones' system left, and I honestly need the room as I acquired a 'new' NeXTstation Turbo Color, and an SGI Indy from the TV station I work at...
At a closer look, it has the quad 180MHz 604e card, making it the Genesis MP 720, I believe.
It has no ram, or video card, but does have a CD-Rom drive.
I was going to post it on EBay, but I figured my chances of someone here wanting it is much better than EBaying it...
When I last ran it, it worked perfect... My other option is if anyone has ram and a PCI video card that would work, and they'd be willing to part with them, I might rebuild it...
If you're interested either way, send me a PM with an offer!
Trades welcome (Working Color Classic, etc...) |
