  Daffy

 
Daffy (pictured right) is a Digital Venturis 575e donated to the society by Progress Computer Systems Ltd.

A Pentium 75 with 24Mb RAM and a bit over 1.1Gb of disk, Daffy was for a long time our general purpose computing and web server for our members.
Unfortunately we've had some problems with it recently - suspected cause overheating. This has led to Fishy replacing it as our gateway machine, although Daffy is still an essential part of the network.
The problems continued when Daffy's not-entirely standard PSU failed in the summer of '99. Our inability to find a suitable replacement PSU meant the entire box was replaced with a 486/66 kindly donated by Alistair, our friendly Trinity Computing Officer. Stephen White salvaged all we could from the old Daffy to ensure the new box has 24MB of RAM and 1.5GB of HD.
