HI, Pete,
This is the first message, yours, that I've seen from the old
[EMAIL PROTECTED] since Travis got it revived. It seems like the
subscription list remained intact, too. Glad to see it alive and kickin',
surviving!
Well, Pete, you do have some oldie goldies, there. I have a old tank of a
beast, a Compaq DeskPro 286/12, a 12.5 MHz 80286-based heavyweight with a
fast Core model HC-150, 167 MHz ESDI drive. I also have a Compaq DeskPro
386/25 which needs a replacement for the old "dumb" Compaq ESDI controller
so I can access the stuff locked up on the old 314MB ESDI drive that came
with the machine.
I have a funky old GoldStar 8086-based machine which is somewhat odd in
that the case is hinged at the back and the cover opens upward, like the
hood, (or the bonnet, if you're British) of a car.
I have some early-to-mid 1990's vintage laptops, including the
80486DX2/50-based Everex StepNote 486 that I am using to write this
posting; a Toshiba T-2200 80386SX notebook from about 1991; and a Compaq
Elite 475, which has a 75MHz 486DX4/75 processor and 12MB RAM. The Everex
has the full 20MB Ram and a 524MB Toshiba hard drive.
I also have an odd assortment of controllers, memory cards, 3.5- and
5.25-inch floppy drives, and some small capacity IDE hard drives, and a
couple of honking big ESDI drives, full height, 5-1/4-inch monsters.
As of yet, there are no Pentium-class machines in this house, so it's all
DOS Windows 3.11, and a bunch of those good old software titles of a
species classification I refer to as Applicaticus DOSosaurus.
