hmm I wonder if the CMOS battery is still good
only one way to find out! to take this apart you just undo the two thumbscrews
oooh
dead as a doornail
combination SCSI card and PCI riser. I'll need to figure out an adapter cable so I can I use this with a SCSI2SD.
I'd like to try netbsd on it. but there are some things I have to do first: new battery, check the fan, SCSI2SD.

AAA cells: three don't quite fit. time to go smaller!
time for the fabled AAAA cell!
fits great
don't solder to batteries, mmmkay
it's booting the netbsd installer from cd-rom!
noice!
I really ought to get a better fan. these Multias have a really poor thermal design.
fan swap time!
adding a thermocouple to see how hot this gets. the lid needs to be on otherwise the airflow won't be right
ah crap. guess I'll have to try a network install.
CPU temp looks good though
fails even when copied over the network. looks like it is failing during the untar process. since it happens at a slightly different place every time, i suspect the SCSI2SD, or perhaps the SD card.
