well hot damn!

you're just like my mans mulder in paper hearts

I think I'll stick with a period correct OS. I have a copy of BackOffice Server 4.5 -- per the description:

Includes Windows NT Server 4.0 SP4, Internet Information Services 4.0, Microsoft SQL Server 7.0, Microsoft SNA Server 4.0 SP2, Microsoft SMS 2.0, Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 SP2, Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0, Microsoft Index Server 2.0, Microsoft Transaction Server 2.0, Internet Explorer 5.0, Microsoft FrontPage 2000, and Microsoft Visual InterDev 6.0.
*BackOffice Server 4.5 with 1 server license and 5 clients access licenses (CAL) was marketed for US$675. It required 2 GB minimum hard drive space, a minimum processor type of Pentium Pro 200 MHz, and a minimum RAM size of 128 MB.

Seems to meet the specifications perfectly. I might bump up the RAM to 256MB.

Oohh that'll make a great back office server system. Nice choice.

Nice project, exactly my cup of cofee, congratulation!
Yes, during the time I learned some time it's good to check the soldering with mag. glass at good light, I also had some stories with improperly soldered pins or solder bridges between pins...

It remembers me still having an Asus P/I-P65UP5 MB with dead dual socket C-P6ND CPU card waiting for repair. The MB was tested with different CPU card and works. On CPU card I checked the VRM and clock generators works fine, I resoldered all chipset pins but didn't help. I suspect the chipset is some way damaged. I got this card already in dead state so I don't know what had happened to it. When I'll have a chacne to get another chipset from some donor board for reasonable price I'll replace it...

Very cool. You should contact Shuttle again and point them to this thread! 😀

I let them know back in March. 😜

That's even better! Full props to Shuttle!

BTW I have recently found a cool russian forum
https://smd.db-x7.ru/load/skhemy_materinskikh_plat/283
that contains a lot of schematics of motherboards, even quite modern ones like my Gigabyte GA-P67-DS3-B3 and GA-P67A-D3-B3. This helps a lot for HW modding and repair.

This thread was inspiration for my most recent build.

Would be interested in your guys’s thoughts on some of the remaining questions of my project.

Thanks
😀

Re: Tyan S1564S to S1564D single to dual processor conversion

Nice to see you finally got the board working wiretap!

Finally put it in a case, along with a Voodoo 3, Sound Blaster Goldfinch setup, and a 3COM NIC.

That's a sweet looking case and it's a great fit for an incredible system. I'm glad you were able to get it all buttoned up.

Oh, that’s very nice.

You should give it *two* pentium pro stickers :p

Great case! It's a perfect fit for that setup.

Oh wow, I feel small now 🤣. Here I am, uploading my first post to Vogons about my dual Pentium Pro project, and then after browsing to read other projects and stories, I find this. And I thought my project was impressive. It's got nothing on yours. You literally converted a board to take a second processor and VRM, when all I did was stick a second one in with its VRM. Nice. Also, awesome case. Where'd you get the 'Dual Pentium Pro' sticker?
