Dual Athlon
2Gb RAM (that bytes so maybe it should be GB?)
Seagate cheetah scsi drives on an Adaptec AIC7899 dual-channel ultra160 
HBA.
Sony DTF-2 on an Adaptec AIC-7884 single-channel ultra160 high-voltage 
differential card. (all use AIC7xxx driver)
Both scsi HBAs come out of the same 64bit 33MHz PCI bus.
