about Compaq ProSignia 500

Compaq prosignia was used mainly as a file server. The system is composed by a board providing scsi, video, network, isa and pci; the cpu and memory are located on the processor board, joined with mobo using a bus (lenght of an eisa). Generally it was sold with a controller raid or similar with the disks on it. Boards have pictures on the PCB (the mobo Alaska (?), the cpu board a car). Prosignia was the precursor of Proliant servers.
