Looking for a matched stepping pair of P133s to rebuild an old project
machine I never finished. I'll also need to find a couple of passive
heatsinks and retaining clips for socket 5/7 as well. The heatsink and
single cpu currently in it appear to be epoxy bonded.
The system itself is a Dell PowerEdge SP5100-2 that currently has a single
P100 cpu. It's an unusual server in the way it's constructed that has tons
of EISA slots and uses a backplane type layout. I rescued it about 4-5
years ago from the scrapper and it came with a 4 EISA dual channel SCSI
cards in it.
I don't really have anything to budget for this thing (which is why it's
been sitting under the desk unfinished for 4-5 years) but I'll gladly
cover the postage or trade a MMJ adapter or cable if someone has some
extra stuff laying around that I'm looking for. (Mylex/BusLogic/Bustek
SCSI cards or programming docs would also be extremely helpful.)
The system uses a 430NX chipset which will support up to a P133 and 512MB
of FPM memory (if memory serves). I'll eventually be looking for a set of
8ea 64MB 60ns 72 pin FPM Parity SIMMs (with tin plated contacts, not gold)
for it as well.
I've got some EISA OSS drivers I'd like to test/debug so it's about time
to finally get the silly thing going.
It's currently missing all 4 of the 3.5" hard drive mounting sleds/trays
and I don't have any of the special rails to mount a cdrom drive or
anything in the 3 empty 5.25" bays so if anyone might have a lead on these
parts or even just know the part numbers for these things it would be most
helpful. Failing that, I guess there's always lucite and velcro :)
[I just realized I last looked into doing something with this system in
2004:

It's definitely time to get it going...]
