Ahh, I know those machines well; I ran three or four of them here for
a long time, as general "utility" servers.   One was my mail server, one
was my web server, one ran DNS and other network infrastructure stuff.
They were great machines.   I just gave the stack of them (but retained
one =)) to a friend at VCF-East last month.

Good little machines, and reasonably power-efficient and compact while
still having enough PCI slots to do useful things.

They are based on the 21064A; considerably faster than the 21066 at
the same clock speed.   I don't recall what chipset is wrapped around it.
(in either case)

And I'm darned glad it wasn't me.....

  Well the fellow who got them was quite happy about it. ;)

Dave did you take those two
things the pair who handled the buy&sell process at that event were
using as foot rests? If so can you confirm that they work?

  I'm not sure of what items you're talking about...can you refresh me?
