Dual pentium 233 mhz server board with 168 MB of Ram works.

Found this thing buried in my basement while cleaning, forgot I even had it.

Found a Din to mini-din adapter for the keyboard.

She booted Slitaz 4 to desktop!

But, since I can't find a serial mouse, a PS/2 connector for the motherboard & my Generic VIA USB card either isn't recognized or doesn't like my wireless mouse setup so I am dead in the water. LOL!

But I was very surprised it worked. I'm thinking of using this with Slitaz for a home automation project running off a CF card.

Once I get a mouse working. Is there a driver for a generic USB PCI card or would this be part of the kernel?

@nitrogen_widget, I presume you have done a lsusb to make sure that your usb card is not recognized by the system?

It was the wireless mouse that wasn't being recognized.

A wired mouse worked fine.

Except while memory use was at 35MB the cpu was pegged at 100% with no indication in the task panel what was using up the cycles.

But, since this PC won't boot with an IDE to CF adapter plugged in i'll be trying a newer PC.
