Oh yeah, this old timer can take a lickin' and keep on tickin'.
Unfortunately, he had to call first on one of his K6-2/500 siblings to help out finishing after running the first 504 hours on his own. That guy carried the payload for about next the 48 hours, which was about all I was willing to risk when I saw that was about a long as the extra wingman which was assigned would most likely take to fault out like it has been consistently lately.
Then the scary part came into play. The result next got transplanted to one of his Intel cousins (the 2.66 P4 Northie) to finish the last 15 hours or so.
I then brought the chickens home to roost, so to speak, uploaded, reported, and voila, out woods as far as the scheduling jam from sending it to him in the first place, 630 plus credits in the bank, and the end of another one of the S5R2 leftovers (finally). :-)
I only hope there aren't any more of them with my K6-300's names on them! ;-)
I forgot to mention that the result would have taken about 800 hours to complete on the 300, based on it's progress when I first made the transplant.
Success!!!

Cool. This sounds like a good story for the "Vintage Computers" thread.
