a little Soekris firewall. But when this 320 and its
flat panel
came available, I jumped on it without a second thought. I'm not
very sure what I'm gonna do with a Windows box, but I'm sure I'll
think of something.
Now I just wish I could afford the ~$300USD for a DVI multilink
adapter for this 1600SW.
Anyhow, the point is that since it's not 10 years old, and it only
runs Windows, it's not "classic" by the conventions of this group.
It *is* a major departure from commodity PC hardware, though, it is
fairly uncommon, and I wouldn't blush a bit about discussing it on
this list.
Actually I think it *almost* falls under the "really cool hardware"
exemption, by virtue of the 1600SW panel. :^) I *so* want one of
those for my o2/270! The problem is I can't justify the cost of
buying one on ePay.
Besides, from the PC HW point they actually do sound like interesting systems.
