I picked up a Packetshaper 6500 for what I thought was a good deal for $25. I had assumed with was 2007/2008 vintage, but turns out it was built in 2001. It has a Socket 370 processor, 30GB IDE drive, 16MB compact flash and 64MB ram.
It does not boot up because I think the previous owner wiped the flash card and hard drive. (The LCD panel just shows a black bar and never changes). I tried to get on the BlueCoat forums (the company that now owns Packeteer) but you cannot even post a question unless you have an active support contract.
I'd love to get the original OS reloaded since that was the main reason I got it. The RAM is way too low to install PFSense on it unfortunately.
Any ideas or sources for getting it going?
