    I'll send a few photos over very soon, I've recently started looking into the old RM kit again and came on here to see if anyone on here has an early edition or system image of the RM Window Box software for 3.11 and willing to trade for a later edition. Just refurbished a RM PC4100 PCI Accelerator (486 DX4 100MHz) and I think it's turned out well. I figure this was the more expensive option at the time or just after the 486 nimbus came out. In terms of hardware the 486 nimbus has motherboard with an LPX slot and riser with a ZIF socket 3. The processor is an Intel 486/66 DX2. Can't say whether it has a custom bios to run old software at this point, I know the network card is a key component to make it run with the older nimbus's, but I'll keep you posted.

    Did you manage to find any old software for Windows 3.x? Currently refurbishing a RM Nimbus, probably one of the last series. I've got the original rm window box 8 software, rm classmate etc along with system images. Be good to do a trade for an earlier version

    Suppose I'm fortunate then to have quite a few passed through my hands, I actually have a RM Nimbus 486 in the loft but it needs repair. £500 seems a bit steep though for a bit of nostalgic indulgence but I suppose I'm guilty of paying over the odds for old kit. I take it you run the Nimbus website? Do you have a lot of old RM equipment/software?

    You could assume that when no port is specified (ie. $port[0] is empty) then ping, otherwise use fsockopen on the specified port. In line with the above suggestion, you could create an array for each target with host, desc, port... $systems[] = array('host' => 'SRV001', 'desc' => 'SQL Server', 'port' => '1433'); Also, if you're monitoring websites it's not enough to just do a ping / check the port. The indicator of a website being down is by using HTTP status codes so perhaps do this when port 80 or 8080 is specified.

    Sorry for the slow reply - Do you still have these?

    I think it's a great idea to create something from scratch and/or using open source software and frameworks to develop on however in terms of something 'easy' then yeah Microsoft Sharepoint and GSuite would be the easiest route however something custom is always way more interesting. How far have you got with the project?

    Hi All, Does anyone have any old RM Nimbus PC 186's they wouldn't mind selling or giving away? Or if not any Research Machines related equipment such as 286 / 386 / 486 pc's? I know these things don't really exist anymore but if you do have anything like this and want to sell/get rid then drop me a message. Thanks!

    I'm a software developer, specialise in Intranets but do all sorts of web applications. Started out in life as an IT Technician for a FE college then moved onto infrastructure. I ended up doing software development because I worked for organisations who didn't have the budget to buy software or wouldn't spend any money.
