OT: EDO DIMM for Server Options

[bd1308]

As many of you know, I'm nuts.

I have three servers in my room, and when all of them are on, it sounds like a t4 next to your ear.

Anyway, I have 192MB of ram on this dual pentium pro server, I would like to have 512MB or 768MB


Most of you out there actually have real jobs, and perhaps some of you are fortunate enough to be in the IT Field.

And some of those people deal with aging servers, probably ones that have EDO DIMMS in them.

Oh and if a server is being "retired" to the scrapheap, i'd love to buy it.

Britt, Funny I should be here reading this. I happen to be one of the "Lucky" ones in the IT field. Anyway I am sitting here in my office rebuilding a server and looking around, because Windows takes sooo long to install (I am a big fan of appliance servers) and I said to myself I have got to take all this "Junk" out to the trash but I don't even have time for that. I have lots of old equipment that I would just give you if you wanted it and would come and take it. Like ISDN routers, hard drives, memory (I am not going to check the specs) printers, monitors, NICs, old PCs, etc. The time and shipping tends to make this stuff not worth anything IMO.

Well what I would need is your memory and your SCSI LVD 68pin SCSI drives...

If you had a old CISCO router there I would be your best friend.

Please keep in touch with me, wouldnt you rather see your old stuff be put to better use than just pushing up other old computers in a landfill?

Any Dual or Quad CPU PCs?

[bd1308]

Oh and my Dual P-pro system is actually Two PII overdrive processors runnign at 333Mhz each.

Yeah I know not fast yada yada, but these P-Pro CPUs are SLICK

Wow, haven't seen anyone ASK for EDO RAM since the late 90s or so. Actually I think my brother just threw a bunch of parts away, and I know for a fact there was a couepl of sticks of EDO (and Fastpage) RAM in there, though I don't know what the size might have been. I doubt we have any left in the shop either; my grandfather has been on a "cleaning" spree for quite a while. He burned a sealed box of 8" floppies a while back that sorta upset me. Only time I'd seen a mathcing drive was in an old DCP40 on base here that my Dad used to work on.

We MAY be scrapping / selling an old PE 4400 soon if they don't let me repurpose it.

Of course if you want to buy a BankTec 9690 check sorter, imager, endorser w/MICR reader, let me know. We've got one to go. Complete with old O/S2 "driver" computer. Also have 5 NCR 7760 proof machines to get rid of.

We have some old servers sitting at my companies lab. I think they run EDO memory, but not large sizes as the had a daughter card to fit the memory on. I thinnk it totaled 1gb. What kind of servers do you have specific model nubers if possible, and I could just grab the whole daughter card for you.

[bd1308]

MICR READER? cool!


Oh and Zen, my machine is custom built, using whatever I could find. It was a standard ATX form motherboard, so I dont think it was a high-end server. BUT I think it takes the same memory as the Compaq servers of the era, I think the 4000 series server.

I think I would really enjoy a quad P-Pro server, or a dual Xeon server. I love the sound of them running, it was intresting. And the hardware is just superb!

Anyway, let me know what you all find out.


Now those NCR machines, are they just dumb terminals or what? And the MICR machine...does that have ANY useful purpose besides looks and the WOW factor?
