Just came across an old SG-500 appliance. I thought it would be interesting to see what else can run on these boxes, so I opened it and found some interesting things inside. Infact the a
ppliance is nothing more than the Portwell NAD 2050 appliance. Based on a Via chip you have everything on the motherboard you need. You have usb connectors, vga output and a primary and secondary controller so you also can connect a full hdd to it. Unfortunately the board apparently stands a max of 512 mb Ram (SODIMM PC 133s).The box is ideal to build some kind of server or firewall with DNS aso. by using Debian or alike.
So now I do my best to find some old RAMs to put them in and see what will happen with a 8GB CF card in it.
