clabretro does it all on hardmode too. Picks the most obscure, esoteric shit to try and get working: IBM i was the most recent, but his AT&T Merlin Phone series was great. I feel like the Sun Ray stuff was the most likely to be you know, actually documented in a way meant for mere mortals to read, and still likely to be hosted somewhere accessible. The IBM i stuff, my god, the acronyms, the terse and unhelpful menus and error messages, the insane lengths to get a simple goddamn serial console, it's no wonder IBM gets paid to handle it all for you. |

I kept a long plastic straw inside the case - the size of a chest freezer - to tickle one of the fans into life. If you forgot that step, the IPL (boot) would take around 45 mins and then about 20 minutes later ... thermal shutdown!
