Totem version 1:

• 1998-05-08: Glued the fan I had bought with araldit, which made the hardware "stable" enough to start the project (there were some crashes though -- anyone touching the box could accidentally crash it). I started maintaing the system and updating motd. The first Totem was born!
• Genuine Intel Pentium 66 MHz, with the F00F and FDIV bugs (F00F patched).
• AT mainboard, Socket 4. Ali chipset.
• 16 colour Cirrus Logic VGA display adapter (ISA).
• IDE disk controller on the ISA bus.
• 6.5 GB Seagate Medalist Pro U-DMA harddrive spinning at 5400 RPM.
• 10Mbit Accton Combo network card (ISA).
• 32 MB RAM.
• 12" IBM PS/2 monitor.
• 80x50 text display on the console (no window system).
• Compiled the world (FreeBSD 2.2.7) in 8 h 51 min 36 sec.
• Giant CPU-fan glued with araldit.
• External CMOS battery soldered directly on the mainboard.
• Did not work at all if the case wasn't standing straight up (else the BIOS wouldn't start), hence the name.

Many thanks to Ole Jørgen Kristiansen and Terje Mathiesen for donating the mainboard/disk-controller/processor/ram/casing and display-adapter/monitor respectively.
