- Use of obsolete components
In my private Network you'll find the following mashines:

- 486 (DX4 100; 32MB; AHA 1740) as file- und samba server (9")
- 486 (DX2 66; 48 MB) as "workstation" (14")

- Tyan Tomcat IV (2x200MMX, 160MB; 2*4GB; CDD2000) Server

My newe Linux experiance is related to my scanner HP ScanJet 4200C. Unfortunately this is not a reaal USB maschine. But with thanks to Adrian Perez Jorge and his homepage hp4200-backend this scanner may be used under Linux anyway. If you are using uhci Chipset (as the most Intel-chipsets are doing), sane may crash while transferring data. The solution is under investigation (pls. don't expect an 8D-Report). If you are using Mandrake >= 7.2 or RedHat >= 6 , you might appreciate these patched sane as RPM-Files:
sane_hp4200-1.0.3-2mdk.i586.rpm
sane_hp4200-1.0.3-2mdk.i586.rpm
Of course I don't take any responsibility out of the use of this files!
