Could this card be used for MorphOS or OS4?
« on: June 02, 2010, 06:59:36 PM »
Hi everyone,

This is a shot in the dark but I wanted to give it a try and ask your opinion. Where I work we have several of these cards:

http://www.compucanjes.com/prod_images/0000013970_1.jpg

It is a Compaq Remote Insight Board Lights-Out Edition II. It is a full blown computer with it's own Video/Mouse/KB/Ethernet/Power connectors but on a PCI card (Remember the Siamese PCI Amiga prototype?). If you look closer you can see a PowerPC 405GP CPU, an ATI Rage XL chip for the video, an XLINK Spartan Chip XC2S150 and a few ribbon cable connectors which I am not sure what they are. I remember reading online about some steps used to load a version of redHat linux on those cards. Could such a card be used to install AOS 4 or MorphOS on it?

I'll try to take some better pictures as soon as I can.

Not a chance...


 Curiosity sparked the question and I know It was a long shot. Oh well! Back to overpriced obsolete hardware as an option.
