NetWare was and is good for long uptimes. I remember visiting client
sites that had patched 3.11 boxes running as file/print servers and no
"amateur admins" on site with uptimes of 600+ days. A coworker once took
a picture of a 3.1 console that had more than 830 days and I have heard
stories of boxes accidentally walled up and not found until years later.

Thanks, though I still have my NW references including the redbooks.
I've already wiped the box. I also found that the BIOS is nominally Y2k
compliant. I manually set the date and it held. I guess it just doesn't
roll over properly.

It's also a P75, not a 486 as I first guessed. I can't find any info on
the motherboard markings. I'm thinking Intel may have never released
this particular model outside their own products- it's seen as an LX/NX
chipset by OBSD but the PCISet markings don't match when I search. For
some reason I couldn't get it to finish booting the NetBSD floppies but
OpenBSD went on easily. Now I just have to tweak it to boot headless and
figure out how to use that nifty LCD.
