[[!toc levels=2]] As every computer geek, I also have a long history of used computers, which I publish here, to be able to look back what I used once. This document also explains the origin of most computer names I have been using. This site was originally know as **tech.schottelius.org**. ## Servers ### suppe.schottelius.org First, in 1998, there was `suppe.schottelius.org`. It was my first webserver, dns-server and mail-server. I recieved it as a gift from a kindergarten, because it was too slow for them. The name is derived from the German phrase "suppelte herum", which means "is still working, but may break if you look at it too strong". You actually should have seen it, it consisted of the following hardware: Chassis: Midi-Tower Processor: Intel Pentium 120Mhz RAM: 48 MiB (16+16+8+8) Harddisk: 2 GiB IDE (PIO mode/16Bit ;) NIC: Some 3Com PCI 10Mbit (3c509?) CDROM: Something like that appeared to be installed Floppy 1x3,5" , 2x5,25" * Productive use: 2000 - 2003 ### bruehe.schottelius.org Later, in 2003, `suppe` was replaced by `bruehe`. One day, broth ran into the `bruehe`, and `bruehe` is the German word for broth. The first version of `bruehe` had the following technical features: Chassis: Midi-Tower Processor: Pentium3 550Mhz RAM: 640 MB (256+128+128+128) Harddisk (scsi): 3* 4 GB scsi-3 (raid 1, one spare disk) Harddisk (ide): 3* 40 GB ide/udma100 (raid 1, one spare disk) NIC (lan): 3Com Corporation 3c905 100BaseTX [Boomerang] NIC (dmz): 3Com Corporation 3c905 100BaseTX [Boomerang] NIC (inet): Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8029(AS) NIC (wlan): Global Sun Technology Inc Optical drive: IDE DVD(+/-, R/RW,RAM) -Burner (old: 32x IDE) Floppy: removed (was: 1x3,5") Later the one scsi and one ide drive was removed due to problems with the power supply. And an additional NIC was put into. At the time `bruehe` was replaced by `creme` (see below) it became the firewall for the lan at home. * Productive use: 2003 - 2006 Bruehe is actually still in use, but only as a table below my desk. ### creme.schottelius.org Because a customer of me broke a contract, I had to keep a very nice dual Xeon server back. This one became `creme.schottelius.org`. The name comes from "creme de la creme" which means "one of the best". Chassis: 2U Processor: Dual Single core Xeon 2.40 Ghz RAM: 1024 MB (2*512) Harddisk: 2* 80 GB ide/udma (raid1) NIC: 2* Intel(R) PRO/1000 CDROM: Slim line IDE 52x DVD * Productive use: 2005 - 2008 ### tee.schottelius.org After creme, I bought a smaller 1U server with remote access. As it is smaller and thinner then creme, it was named tee. Here are the specs: Chassis: Intel S5000PAL Processor: Quad Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33GHz RAM: 20 GiB (2*2 GiB, 4*4 GiB) Harddisk: 2* 500 GB sata (raid1) Raid: ARC-1210 4-Port PCI-Express to SATA RAID Controller NIC: 2* Intel 80003ES2LAN (Gigabit) CDROM: Available * Productive use: 2008 - now ## Notebooks ### flapp.intern.schottelius.org Flapp was my first notebook, a Acer Travelmate 524TEV. Quite a nice machine, bought with the first money I made. Processor: Intel Pentium III 650 Mhz with Speedstep Ram: 64MB (max: 512MB) HD: 10 GB, UDMA 33: IBM-DJSA-210 CD: 24x CD / 6x DVD: MATSHITADVD-ROM SR-8175 USB: ALi M5237 Network: Intel Ethernet Pro 100 VGA: ATI 3D Rage P/M Mobility AGP 2x PCMCIA: O2 Micro OZ6933 IDE: ALi M5229 Sound: ALi 5451 Touchpad: Synaptics Modem: Lucent SoftModem Version 3.1.66 Infrared: Ali Fast Infrared Display: 13.3" TFT * Productive use: 1998 - 2003 ### scice.intern.schottelius.org After `flapp` died in 2003 (because tea ran into it), I bought `scice`. `Scice` is combined of "scientific" and "silence". Scice has a Transmeta TM5400 processor and no active cooling. It was produced by ECS under the name of "A530". Processor: Transmeta(tm) Crusoe(tm) Processor TM5600, 600Mhz RAM: 128MiB (upgraded to 384MiB later) Optical drive: DVD-ROM / CD-RW Display: 14" TFT Mouse input: Touchpad Other: 4x USB2.0 * Productive use: 2003 - 2005 ### ei.intern.schottelius.org Unknown time. Was an IBook G3. ### hydrogenium.intern.schottelius.org When the accu of `scice` ended its livetime about one year after I bought it, I decided to buy a used Compaq Evo N400C. Processor: Pentium III (Coppermine) 850 Mhz Display: 12" TFT * Productive use: 2005 - 2008? ### wasserstoff.intern.schottelius.org To be more precise, when I bought `hydrogenium`, I also bought `wasserstoff`, which is also a used Compaq Evo N400C. `Wasserstoff` is simply there to spend parts, when `hydrogenium` needs to have them replaced. ### ast.intern.schottelius.org Pentium 1 notebook. Never really used it productively, was thought to be a terminal. ### denkbrett.intern.schottelius.org A IBM T60. ### ikn.intern.schottelius.org A Lenovo Thinkpad X200. The name is derived from its main use in ETH Zürich, "Informatikkoordinator Nico". * Productive use: 2008 - now ### kobold.intern.schottelius.org A IBM X31. Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1600MHz RAM: 1 GiB HD: 40 GB Graphics card: ATI Radeon Mobility M6 LY (AGP) * Productive use: 2009 - now ### kr.intern.schottelius.org A Lenovo Thinkpad X201. The name is an abreviation for "klapprechner", the German translation for "notebook". * Productive use: 2010 - now ## Workstations/Desktops Systems I used as workstations: ### ozean.intern.schottelius.org My first own computer was a Pentium 1 bought from Aldi. Before that I used my father's computer. The case of that computer was painted blue with penguins on it by a friend of mine. That case actually become the case of bruehe later. Currently I do not even remember the naem I gave that box. Processor: Pentium 1, 166 Mhz Harddisk: 700 MB + 1 GB SCSI (exchanged the 4 GB IDE HD that came with it) RAM: around 16 MiB Graphics card: ATI with 2 MiB CD-ROM: Single speed SCSI with caddy running at triple speed ### eiche.intern.schottelius.org Then my father gave me his old computer for present, which was named `eiche` (oak in English), because it has a big-tower case. Processor: Intel Pentium IV (mostly running at 80 C) ### buche.intern.schottelius.org `buche` replaced `eiche` on 2006-06-10, because the mainboard of `eiche` had some problems with the Promise ide controller. `buche` should now be the file and backup server for the persons living in our home. Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) Processor, 800Mhz RAM: 1152MiB Optical drive: DVD-RAM (CD-RW, DVD+/-R/RW) NIC: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] IDE: 2x onboard, 4x on Promise PDC20270 (TX4) Other: 4x USB2.0, 4xUSB1.1 ### dosinux.intern.schottelius.org Midi tower used for gaming. Name is a combination of "dos on unix", because I used dosbox to run old games on it. ### grauerstar HP J6000, HPPA. Running Debian and Gentoo. ## Embedded ### zwerg.schottelius.org My first embedded device to play around with. Data mostly copied from www.soekris.com: 266 Mhz NSC SC1100 single chip processor 256 Mbyte SDRAM, soldered on board 4 Mbit BIOS/BOOT Flash CompactFLASH Type I/II socket UltraDMA-33 interface with 44 pins connector for 2.5" Hard Drive 3 10/100 Mbit Ethernet ports, RJ-45 2 Serial ports, DB9 and 10 pins header USB 1.1 interface Power LED, Activity LED, Error LED Mini-PCI type III socket.

Data again mostly copied and edited from Soekris.com: 500 Mhz AMD Geode LX single chip processor with CS5536 companion chip 512 Mbyte DDR-SDRAM, soldered on board 4 Mbit BIOS/BOOT Flash CompactFLASH Type I/II socket.
