Yes NT4.0 does
support the PPC. Can't remember if NT5 is
supposed to. I vaguely remember that it was, but my memories
been slipping lately ...
I have a Motorola PPC (604/100) machine designed specifically to
run NT, it's a CHRP/PREP/WATEVR machine that was supposed
to, eventually, be able to run either NT or MacOS. It's in quite a sad
state right now (I'm not even sure exactly where it is right now).
I also have another PPC machine (again 604/100) made by a
company called FirePower that was formed by a bunch of old NeXT
guys (the ones that were working on the multiprocessor 88100
NeXT box :( ) and eventually bought by Motorola. I currently have it
running NT4.0 and SQLServer 6.5, both native. Cool little box, uses
OpenFirmware (as does the other Mot).
That sounds like it might be what we have. It's in a Motorola box.
What is OpenFirmware? I've never heard of it. They are 604/100s.
Perhaps the DataServer machine is such a CHRP/PREP beastie?
You can run the disk administrator application (in the administrative
tools folder) to find out about the drives.
I didn't see an administrative tools folder.
