Digital Forensics And Archaeology Against A 486 // (Intel Professional Workstation Part 3)

In the continuing saga of this Intel Professional Workstation, we dig in deeper into the history of this unusual piece of hardware, and take a page from the Digital Forensics and Information Response (DFIR) folks to reconstruct the full history of this machine. After touring the hard drive and seeing the small number of programs and confusing configurations, I decided to dig in deeper and using Autopsy from the Sleuth Kith, I decided to run a battery of forensic tests to figure out what was just the story of this system. Even after finally piecing together the overly complex life and times, I was still left with the daunting task of debugging the SCSI controller, and digging into why I had so many failures. My journey here would take me to Windows NT, NeXTstep, NetWare, Linux, and even NetBSD. To solve this mystery, I would have to dig into the datasheets of the NCR 53C700, the SCSI Device Management System and more. What I would find is that Intel had only supported Windows NT 3.1, SCO U
