What to do with 2 Intel D201GLY Motherboard Celeron?

[Ratteler]

So I picked up these 2 Intel D201GLY Motherboard Celeron 1.3 Motherboards for $10. I currently have only 512MB in each, and I'm playing with 32MB CF cards for the OS. They only have one IDE port, and a PCI Connector.

I thought their processors were socketed so swap in a P4 775 chip I had., but the Celery is soldered to the board.

I'm wondering what to do with them?

I'd like to do something Retro with them. Since they have parallel ports I was thinking of running 64HDD and using one as Mass storage device for 8 Bits, but it seems a little wasteful to limit them to that.

I wanted to Amithlon one of them, but I don't have the original CD's and have no clue where to to begin.

I would really like to make them slave machines for my A500 and Commodores.

What ideas do you guys have?

Any cool ideas for turning a PC into a retro peripheral?

I've written some pretty extensive guides for installing Amithlon.....though you'd need to find the .iso.

The SiS Mirage 1 Video may support VESA modes, but you have a PCI slot so could add a Hardware Accelerated supported graphics card. The AC '97 audio may be supported, not all version are. The network adapter is most likely supported (Broadcom).

Cool. I have a PCI nVidia 6200 512MB Graphic card.

Now I just need the ISO.

I friggin HATE AbondonWare.

If hardware is supported, adding some 'memory could install a distro AROS as IcarOS, AspireOS o AROS Broadway; at the time the most stable distro is IcarOS Desktop

Is this based on a Linux? Can the system run things like GIMP, INKSCAPE, BLENDER?

Yeah, keep it for future in a safe place - probably one of the last x86 safe hardware...
