Ah right, maybe I should just try and fix what's not working atm.
Well it seems to have booted now, I must have just been impatient, or
the RAID card is just bitching that it needs a new HD. There's also a
normal OS/2 error, so I can probably fix that.

Not sure what I'm going to do with it, although fitting an overdrive to
it sounds like fun:
