I received my 4 thin clients, since they are ebay equipment, I start off by simply testing each of them in turn to make sure that they aren't DOA (dead on arrival). The first one informs me that there is no mouse during bootup (ok, I didn't plug it in because I didn't expect much).
Box A:
Model: 8363-EXX IBM Netvista
Video Mem: 7 mb
NS Boot Vers: B4011201 (01/12/01) [OLD]
Processor: 233
Memory: 64mb
Box B:
Model: 8363-EXX IBM Netvista
Video Mem: 3 mb
NS Boot Vers: B4071601 (07/16/01) [OLD]
Processor: 233
Memory: 64mb
(did a load factory default and reboot)
Also noted that this one has a higher range of display settings, possibly good for an attempt at a windows terminal.
Box C:
Model: 8363-EXX IBM Netvista
Video Mem: 3 mb
NS Boot Vers: B4011201 (01/12/01) [OLD]
Processor: 233
Memory: 64mb
This one has a different MB configuration
Box D:
Model: 8363-EXX IBM Netvista
Video Mem: 3 mb
NS Boot Vers: B4011201 (01/12/01) [OLD]
Processor: 233
Memory: 64mb
Broken face plate - nothing that a little superglue won't fix

what is your intention for the thin clients/
My intention is to not only to understand how to implement, to see if it is truly a better method and what are the downsides of these devices. I haven't followed through with this too much as I am short on time and haven't had a chance to follow through with the steps needed.
