Oh, almost like my 486DX2-80, but I don't use it - and would *never* put
W95 on it. Wouldn't change the speed to DX2-100 either, there is enough
problems with it as it is. The I/O card (VLB) likes to destroy harddrives
(two for a friend, and one for me when I bought it back).
The cases (two of them) are great when I get extra parts over that I can
put together to a workable PC, but it's getting much harder to get hold on
parts these days (since I don't want XT/ATs anymore and actually want fast
386/486 or slow Pentiums).
Any "movable" PC would however be nice to have, 5 - 10 Kg isn't that much
to carry around all day ;)
