Obsolete hardware

Whenever I need to run an operating system on obsolete computing hardware, I find the smallest distribution Puppy Linux comes into mind.
The last number of years Slitaz has been doing an enormously great job keeping my old hardware to chug along.

Slitaz is so small it can run on RAM:

That's Amiga speak for ramdisk

#AMD 3D #VCache enables #RAMdisk to hit 182 GB/s speeds — over 12X faster than the fastest #PCIe5.0 #SSD
A RAM disk delivered sequential read and write speeds around 178 GB/s and 163 GB/s, respectively, in #CrystalDiskMark reportedly from a RAM disk running on AMD's #Ryzen7 #7800X3D #CPU. Nemez, a user on X (Twitter), discovered the method. The method is based on #OSFMount, free software that allows you to create RAM disks and mount the image files in different formats.

Was the Apple II the first platform to support SSD storage...?
