I'm having fun setting up the oldest machine I can... its a 386 DX25
with 10 Mb of DIP ram (no none of those pesky modern SIMM things.)
Inside is
a Panasonic interface CDROM on a SB16
a Tseng ET4000 VGA Accelerator (ISA of course)
Ultrastor 14F SCSI card
3com 3c515 100 Mbit ISA NIC
Some random 16 bit IDE controller for floppy.
All I need now for it is a hard drive, either scsi, or MFM or RLL. IDE
is too new for this box :)
If anyone says "install Gentoo on it!" I'll reply with "NO"
