Inherited sick dual Pentium

You can do quite a bit with the diagnosis tools on a Compaq SmartStart CD.
A server that old would probably need a pre-5.5 version of the disk.  If
you don't have access to one of these, I might be able to help you out.  I
might also be interested in buying the box if you don't feel like dealing
with it.

I just inherited a Compaq Proliant 800 (gutted mostly).
Our tech guy doesn't recall what is wrong with it. Says
it boots, but has some issue. Anyway, is there any one
out there that can do component level analysis? Or
point me in the direction? I've never done an analysis
of as complex a device as this. We're talking about a lot of
gates! If I can make it work it'd make a great little
webserver. Dual PIII 550s, only 64MB RAM though.
Anyone got an old scope they don't need/use?

Thanks,
Brian
