Nope. I re-read the original and it was the power light:
"I noticed that the power light is solid amber rather and I
think it used to be green."
I missed that line. Without the model number, I can tell if that's
normal or means something important.

What color is the Netgear power light normally? What color while
booting?

I never read the manual until after I get into trouble. It's a matter
of pride. I have to maintain the illusion that I know everything
(except the color of the Netgear pilot light).

We used to use those as servers around 1987. 486DX33 CPU's.

I just tossed a PS/2 Muddle 30-286. The reason it took so long is
that there were tons of other PS/2 boxes and parts on top of it. Good
riddance. Want a large box of assorted PS/2 boards cheap? Most were
pulled from Model 95 servers.
