Be Incorporated was an American computer company founded in 1990, best known for the Be Operating System (BeOS) and BeBox personal computer. Be was founded by former Apple Computer executive Jean-Louis Gassée,

The BeOS ran on the BeBox, but was later ported to Apple Computer's Power Macs.

This is one of the first 100 BeBox computers, hand made by Be employees, and delivered to software developers in 1995. These early machines didn't have front Bezels, and carried a sticker which said:

"Attention! This device has not been approved by the Federal Communications Commission. This device is not, and may not be offered for sale or lease, or sold until the approval of the FCC has been obtained."

Be did get FCC approval in 1996. Only about 1800 total BeBox's were ever sold.

Installed in the unit is the original Altatron motherboard. No memory and no CD Rom (both required to get the machine to run).

The seller suggested, "Personally, I would run 4.5.2. 5.0.3 will run on this machine, make sure you have the PPC version, not the Intel version. There are some quirks which shouldn't effect this machine (blinkenlights won't work on production machine, etc....). Also, make sure you choose your VGA card wisely. A Matrox Millenium card should work well with 5.0.3."

"This is different from the BeBox's that were actually sold to consumers (developers) in 1996. There are several more 'connections' on the rear which didn't make it into the production units, and these units didn't have front bezels, or the cool dual CPU lights (blinkenlights) that the production units had

"This didn't come with a keyboard, mouse or display. Be didn't sell these, instead they decided to use industry standards... this can use standard PC mice / keyboards.

"These use old-school RAM SIMMS. Specifically, 72 pin 60ns RAM SIIMMS.

this was pretty easy to build, just drilled a hole through the motherboard. I'm going to try to drill a hole through the cpu that was on this motherboard, but it might be a little tough!

A stacked image of a wafer full of CPU die's (I believe they are IBM CPU die's). Reversed 24mm on D300.

These are IBM's Power6 CPUs. They are dual-core and runs at 5GHz. Very fast, very hot, and very power hungry. These goes into the IBM 9119-FHA, largest of the Power6 model machines. Each "PU Book" houses 4 of these CPUs and each 9119-FHA can house 8 "Book"; making each 9119-FHA capable of running 64 CPUs. Quite impressive.

We are looking at getting Power7 machines (9119-FHB) when they are available and they can house 128 CPUs with each running at 2 "hyper-threads". Going to be quite a massive computing platform!

An old chip that i opened to see what's inside.

It's an Intel 8742, a 8-bit microcontroller that includes a CPU running at 12 MHz, 128 bytes of RAM, 2048 byte of EPROM, and I/O in the same chip.

See the official doc (pdf) on the intel's website.

It’s a sugar coated version of XP that conflicts with my video editing programs. Microsoft has made it harder to move files with no “move” feature. They have taken away the windows picture viewer and gif images don’t work without extra software.

The switch to box wouldn't let me switch mto moizilla on a download for an upgrade to snagit.

7 can feel me closing it down. it crashed as i copy program files so I can downgrade to vista.

Installing windows 7 signature edition on 32 bit and 64 bit. I had to wipe the 32 bit because 7 wouldn’t recognize windows 7 RC. Install of fresh 7 took About 40 minutes. From Vista 64 bit 7 copied and saved programs and data of @ 400gb on my lt and @ 80 programs in @ five hours! That was nice!

10/10/2009 9:39:53 PM

Wipe 7 32 bit because of ati problem. Starting re install

To ready desktop:

10/10/2009 10:08:59 PM

A wipe did not fix the ati glitch on a reinstall.

Windows 7 changed back to windows 7 basic color scheme and the tuner came back on. I had just plugged the tuner into Laptop 2 64bit vista and ati 650 worked. Then all of a sudden the tuner started working again on my 7 lt. Weird coincidence.

10/14/2009 4:21:42 AM

Uninistalling Roxio and using a windows basic or Aero theme in Display settings then re-installing the 650 program over the existing install made the 650 work for me again. I dare not mess with Windows TV tuner!

For those with simple need that don’t need a TV tuner I sugest Windows 7 Ultimate. For those willing to troubleshoot your ATI tuner I also suggest Windows 7 Ultimate!

10/14/2009 11:23:51 PM

A windows 7 update today caused the ati not to work again. It plays but is slow.

10/17/2009 5:16:59 AM

I had to reverrify my activation key on the 32 bit.

I can only network 2 machines that are both on 7.

10/17/2009 10:12:32 PM

A clean uninstall of the 650 then re-install AFTER re-installing roxio fixed it so far.It’s working with roxio now. Roxio’s TV tuner and the ati tuner are working. If you put in ati first before Roxio then Roxio won’t let you install ati.

Hp 7350 photo printer won’t work with hp laptop 64bit and 7 desktop 32bit. No compatible drivers I have found so far have helped.

I can’t figure out how to sort icons in Quick launch with 7.

This poor CPU has clearly been the unfortunate subject of the wild exploration of a cruel mind. Most of the leads to the silicon in the middle are torn.

Lost and meaningless. Poor littl' CPU, no more will you compute.

Random floppies from early 90's PCs. Motherboards and such like had to be constantly fed with drivers in those days. The CPUs are left over from the machine getting upgraded.
