Why does the bios say "Press F1 or F11 for Windows 2000"? Is that from the hard drive controller card?

Totally awesome!
Dual Pentiums is for some reason so much cooler than dual "anything newer". The only think I could imagine being cooler than dual Pentiums would be dual 486, and that would probably be too old to run anything other than specialized linux distros or something. Well, perhaps NT3.51 or 4.0, which would be okay I guess.
Thanks for sharing the video and pictures.

Oh, and you should really get some use out of that on-board Wide SCSI2 controller. 😀

WinXP : PIII 1.4GHz, 512MB RAM, 73GB SCSI HDD, Matrox Parhelia, SB Audigy 2.
Win98se : K6-3+ 500MHz, 256MB RAM, 80GB HDD, Matrox Millennium G400 MAX, Voodoo 2, SW1000XG.
DOS6.22 : Intel DX4, 64MB RAM, 1.6GB HDD, Diamond Stealth64 DRAM, GUS 1MB, SB16.

The Compaq SystemPro was originally released with dual 386's upgradeable to dual 486's later.

The ultimate in cool SMP systems has to go to the ALR Revolution 6x6, though, with it's 6 Pentium Pro Processors (and yes, you can upgrade them to Pentium II Overdrives).

Yup, this message comes from the controller. This function turns on the controller mode to native IDE for win2k-as manual says. Funny, this controller is already IDE, so i don't know what exactly this F1 switch do.
Especially that win2000 doesn't see this controller at all.

I tried, but my quantum atlas 10kIII 18GB was not detected. I think the problem is that disk is too large, but I do not have a smaller scsi disk...

I checked that pentium pro isn't coolest proc... with slow antec 12cm i think it has about 50 C.
