thats crazy cool man, i managed to get windows 11 on a really old Packard bell from the 90s with a random tiny 11 distro on internet archive

I have the same machine at home and I use it as my backup machine, but I use the IDE bus instead

The way I did all my SCSI is using twisted pair cables starting from 80MB/s SCSI and up, that's because of LVD and possible interference. It's kind of strange that upon booting the controller it doesn't show the speed it negotiated between itself and device, but I'd guess it could be 40MB/s with this cable.

[@dom80TA]

That is a good point! I have an LSI 320 and it says on boot (This disk should support 320mbs when os and driver is loaded) or something like that. I would have to guess if its running slower its because of the termination or something. It could also be the Proliant backplane I am using, although I know SOME of those were rated for U320

To be honest, I want to reccomended WS 2025. But since you use processor that didn't support SSE 4.2 as minimum. I think it will be impossible. SATA HDD was still possible but hiccups so much on my Xeon E3 1220 V2, and SAS wasn't get bigger storage. So I just put decent 512GB SATA SSD + 4TB HDD (Didn't need industrial SSD) Works better than regular Windows 11

Dang! You’ve got a fortune in FBDIMMs. They hit mainstream end of 2003 SBS (32-BIT) and if we wanted to repurpose hardware for 2008 SBS we got royally BUFU’d compared to DDR.

No kidding lol. I had a S5000 Intel system with 8x4gb in it, I remember paying $130 for the ram and 2x Xeon X5355 quad cores, used that system for years! Fast but HOT
