NetApp F220 software needed

| Hi y'all.
I recently aquired a NetApp F220, and need the operating
system/operation software for this. I have been unable to find any good
information on this, even from NetApp. Can I run Linux on this? Would
NASLite work? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

That hardware is circa 1989. It would be like running an Sun IPX
today.
I don't think the Ontap version that will run on this is even
available from NetApp anymore. Not to mention you would need NFS/CIFS
licenses for it to do anything.
It will not run Linux nor any other OS unless you REALLY want to hack
the snot out of it. And I mean re-flsashing proms and the like.
My suggestion would be to toss it or use it to hold open those really
heavy doors.

That sounds a little early for NetApp.

I'd guess the F220 would rather be from around 1995/1996.

You might find NetApp more help full if you paid
for a support contract. But if that is really the
model filer I'm thinking (would you say its color
could be called "nuclear banana"?), then it came
out around 1996, and has a 1.75-MHz Pentium. To
do WAFL with it, you'd want the last release of
Data Ontap which supported it, which I think is
5.3.7R3, but you might need a firmware update too.

Maybe 175MHz?
