I've got a SuperMicro P4DPL-M-based machine in my work queue which I still
didn't unpack as I'm not sure it's worth investing my time in it. I could
probably set it up and connect its serial port to a Livingston Portmaster so
remote debuggin was quite possible. Sending the beast (about 64 kg including
disks) somewhere is definitely not an option (we're sitting somewhere in
Germany and the poor soul who will be looking into this will probably be
sitting 40 km off Timbuktu for all we know). If there is anyone willing to
get this thing going (to check the environment first I'd give them access to
a machine oon the rack besides ist future resting place - just to see if
working across the Internet is an option for them) I'd be willing to risk
the investment in mainboard and processors (i.e. if there is no chance of
getting it to work I'll later on rip out the mainboard and put a SuperMicro
P3TDLE in and try to get rid of that mainboard somewhere).

Is there any reason that would make it impossible to do this on a machine
with a 3ware RAID I'm not aware of?
