There's a pair of mirrored drives in that RAID, and important files are written there. One solution may be to install Windows 2000 on that system, but when Roland attempted that he found Windows 2000 doesn't seem to have DPT RAID drivers. The BIOS sees the RAID array all right, but Windows 2000 doesn't. Another, would be to get a pair of Pentium Pro chips without the big cache, install them to get the system up, and run it just long enough to peel everything off Fireball. Most of those files are stored all over the place in my usual manner, but the NT server configuration information may not be.
Backup servers sit there and wait, and can be promoted to be the primary server if the primary dies.
I thought I was setting something like that up, and perhaps I did, but we haven't been able to get that going. I don't really mind. Fergie can connect to Princess, but Princess can't find Fergie. And so forth. As it happens, I can move files from any machine to any other, although I may have to park them in an intermediate system to do it.
