The first-gen Hesperos was built from the bones of the DFI 486. I had recently installed Solaris 7 for x86 on the DFI, and it proved unusably slow. My first step was to order a full-tower AT case from JDR Microdevices, and move the bones of the DFI into it. This provided no performance gains, for obvious reasons.
The G1 machine was a short-lived part of the Hesperos story.
Historical Summary
This section is included from my old home page, The VAX Pirate's Lair, and as such is not to be considered accurate or up-to-date.
This machine is enormous. Not currently functional, as it is missing a hard drive, floppy drive, CD-ROM and memory. This is one of those massive full-tower monstrosities with 6 external 5.25" drive bays that only supports AT/Baby AT motherboards. It originally ran Solaris 7 for Intel. I plan to rebuild it as a Windows domain controller once I get the needed components.
