Hey Group,
Here's what I've done with a 9595-0LG and some parts! It's been a work in progress, and for all intents and purposes, still is.
Somehow, I turned into a hardware nut and wanted to see how much I could realistically get into this beast. In addition to the stock floppy drive, I added an additional 2.88MB floppy, a 1.2MB floppy, the 127MB Optical Disc and a CD-ROM. The latter two are SCSI devices, attached to a Spock controller with 2MB cache.
There is a three bay raid array in the lower portion of the DASD assembly connected to a Cheetah F/W Streaming RAID. It is populated with three IBM 4GB drives.
I wanted to put a tape device of some kind instead of the second 2.88MB floppy, but finding the appropriate bezel was becoming a futile search. I don't think I was supposed to add another removable media device, the CD-ROM bezel is hanging on for dear life and isn't really held in place by much more than the front frame.
I have modified a P90 complex to accommodate a 200mhz Intel Pentium. There is 256MB of ECC memory installed.
I've been using an IBM LCD as the display, it's connected to an XGA-2 adapter. I've got 64K of colors in Warp, 800x600 -- i'm pretty pleased, but there has to be some kind of boss video add on that must be floating around -- maybe an ATI Graphics Ultra Pro? I have parts to trade !! There's also installed an Artist WinSpirit, but it's not presently being used. I need to take it out, but i'm being lazy -- or maybe I haven't really finished with it yet, I'm not sure.
It has an Etherstreamer MC32 installed, but I haven't bothered to configure networking yet, as I intend on connecting it to a wireless bridge of sorts to get it on the WiFi.
I also have installed an Audiovation/A and a PCMCIA/A. The Audiovation/A I haven't got going yet, I need to find the OS/2 drivers. If anyone has a SB or compatible sound card for this that might want to trade for something else they've been in need of, again, I've got parts !! The PCMCIA/A is working fine under OS/2 and under DOS. I've got a Type III IBM 105MB PCMCIA disk presently installed.
The software is more than likely temporary, I'm not sure I'll keep the RAID configured as it is, but it's presently configured to dual boot MS-DOS 6.22 and OS/2 Warp 3 Connect, Blue Spine. There is an additional drive that I may attempt to put NT 4 on if I leave these drives alone.
There's DOOM II on the PCMCIA card.
Check out the pics, drop some comments, and if you need anything, let me know.
