Hi Everybody,
Just for you to know that I've been able to install YDL 3.0 on such a beast, without too much fuzz.
I was part of the team that followed YDL closely to make it work on those machines back in 2001-2002, around the http://www.shiner.info web site (look in archive.org).
Those days I just wanted to make sure my pre-series ANS 700 was still working and I eventually upgraded it from 2.3 to 3.0. I'll try to make the RAID card work with that release too (I was booting off of it in 2.3).
If someone need to reproduce I hold the boot floppy and 3.0 .iso handy. I can post the steps needed (no miboot on this machine).
My plan is to install 3.0.1, 4.0 etc. to see how far this 16 years old machine can keep up.
Cheers,
GoM
