It's a P133, 64 megs of ram, 2 gig HD, running SuSE 8.x.... the case came from a 486 and the CD-ROM slot may have originally held a 5.25-inch floppy drive.
The video card is a POS Special, and the NIC is so old it has a COAX jack.
The NIC appears to have finally given up the ghost.

And how did this machine survive the asteroid, all those years ago? You know, the one that supposedly killed off all the dinosaurs.
Seriously, though, a computer is a computer, and it's always sad to see them (start to) die. How many boxen do you have?
(I have 2 laptops from that epoch, both running Win98, which are only broken out when I want to play an old DOS or Windows game that won't run on XP.)

I've been writing a bit.
ECS, I would reccomend replacing the NIC - if you've kept up with your kernel updates, you should be able to stuff 'anything that says 3Com' in it,
and it'll Just Work.
That's a VERY impressive Old Computer.

That assumes that the Nic is what's wrong with it... which might be right or not, I haven't got a console on it yet.
