I think the board will fit your needs (quite a bit unsure). I'm somewhat limited on IDE devices (just a 4 or 8g is laying around, scsi is not a problem). Unfortunately rebuilding world + kernel on a machine like that takes ~18 hours but I'm able to set this up. What do you want to test? Do you need remote (ssh/openvpn) access to it? Interested in that machine? Volker
