Not that I'm aware of. We are supporting a couple
hundred Dell 4066/XE
Interactive Unix servers which are at the end of their life cycle and
being replaced by Compaq Proliant 2500 and 5000 servers. We have one
in-house 4066/XE for building root drives for field servers. All other
times the 4066/XE sleeps.
What (tell me please) are you/they doing with the XE's as they are replaced? I
would love to get sme parts such as a Pentium upgrade board to make it a 45xx/XE
as well as drive rails, hard drives, hard drive mounts, etc and I wouldn't even
mind considering some for purchase if reasonable enough. Sure they are heavy but
in the process of messing with this one I thought what agreat machine for a
local church group that runs 15-20 machines and has limited funds, to be able to
run their homeschool machines with the same software available.
I guess I ought to take this to private email as well....

Found an easy path to the info you need:
1. Access www.dell.com
Marty is your Phoenix bios in your 4066/XE at A17? This is supposed to fix a
lot of
things including some sort of Y2K bug. Just installed it and it works nearly
invisible. It's on Dell's web site or FTP as 4xxXEA17.EXE
