I purchased an IBM Server 500 series computer yesterday at a yard sale for
only $10.. It's a pentium 90 with 64 RAM, CDROM, 2.88 Floppy drive, and (5
ea. ) 2.25 Gig Wide SCSI-2 hard drive in it. It's a very big case that holds
a total of 12 SCSI drives, and a mix of other things.
When I got it home I power it up and it booted up up nicely with a Novel
3.12 OS (100) user licence. I was thrilled until the power supply made a pop
and , a small Cap must have blown. and now it has no power.. I would have
loved to use this as a home server, but I really don't have the knowledge to
repair the PS and I really see no real value in this machine other than it's
5 SCSI-2 Wide Hard Drives.. Any Ideas from the experts here.. ??
