the whole server (70EUR without SA6400 and disks) ;-)

You're in Germany right?
A support call won't cost you anything more than the cost of a phone call.
Ring at 8:05 in the morning - you get straight through.
If you have a problem, they will help diagnose and tell you what part(s) you
need.
You don't have to accept their parts offer.

Though in all fairness, alt.sys.pc-clone.compaq.servers is the best place to
come if you're not in a hurry

It's for home useage.

OK - fine.

At work we have masses of HP kits, but at the times of this ML530G1 we
were using the HP Netserver equivalents (LH4 and such)

Eeeeeugh! Netservers!

IMHO it's just stupid that this thing doesn't have a RBSU.

I always thought the system partitions were great at the time....
