Nintendo NAS - Inside cartridge slot

The Nintendo NAS contains the following hardware.

 

CV860A Motherboard with onboard Via Eden C3 at 800Mhz

512 Mb RAM

400Gb 3.5″ IDE Hard disk.

3 * 100MB Lan connections

 

The LEDs on the front panel indicate power, disk activity and LAN activity. The power button turns the NAS on (funny that!) The reset button is not connected.

 

I’ve not put a CDROM drive inside the unit that utilises the cartridge flap on the front. Ive mounted the hard drive behind it instead.

 

The plan was to install FreeNAS, but I’ve now decided to put Ubuntu server on instead. I can then put a full Apache/MySQL installation on it and publish its website to the internet. I will put a guest book system on it, so visitors can sigh the log. Keep an eye on nintendonas.retrocomputers.eu . I should have the site live by the new year.
