Hi Marina,
i know, but normally you can assume that older hardware
is supported. Ok - no dinosauros - but at least something
that fits the minimum requirements issued by MS. I
recently installed Win2003 on an older HP server model
(about 4-5 years old) and had no major problems, but
discovered a problem with IDE harddisks too and had them
removed temporarily.
I' am sorry not to have more recent hardware on stock to
testdrive SBS 2003 ;-)
So i will have to find some way.
Thanx
Robert
