    Congrats!

    Sure don't throw it away!
    You can do a lot with it, although one might considder replacing the drives:
    2*200MB might be a problem.
    BTW, the SS10 uses "normal" scsi-drives, (also used in other machines like
    PC's) so it would not be hard to find some 2.0 or 4.0 GB drives.
    Other nice possibility of the SS10, is that you can turn it into a
    multi-cpu-system, you can cpu-boards with m-bus interface often on ebay.

    Just be be sure: did you check the md5sum of the iso-image before burning
    the cd?

    Kind regards, hans
