  1. Sometimes it's a bit tricky with old hardware. How do I get software onto an old #SiemensNixdorf #PCD that has neither a USB port nor a floppy drive? Luckily, #GeoWorks2 was at least installed on it, so with XMODEM and Klaus Peichl's incredibly useful PALMZIP.SYS driver, copying entire directories via a #ZIP100 worked.

  6. New bios battery, trackball is working, only the floppy is broken. But is the job for another day #SiemensNixdorf #486dx

  7. I'm really in a shocked love state. As promised, here are some better pictures of the #SiemensNixdorf #PCD4NL. It's a small lottery win: No scratches, no breaks, not really discolored. Looks like it's been sleeping in its pocket for the last 30 years.
    And as you can see, I still have the original warranty certificate in case something breaks. I added an optical PS/2 mouse to make #GeoWorks easier to use.

  8. Preparing an old #SiemensNixdorf #Scenic710 with Windows 2k SP4 and Delphi 1.0. Equipped with #Pentium 266 MMX it was a very powerful machine at its time.
    And I think the old Delphi is a historical review suitable for the topic of #RCF3 "graphical user interfaces". It significantly influenced the age of GUI builders.

  9. Von der Nummer 1 in Europa wurde das im Herbst 1990 fusionierte Computerunternehmen Siemens Nixdorf schon nach wenigen Jahren zum Kandidaten für Zerschlagung.
