🤔 Oh joy, another riveting deep dive into FPU detection from the OS2 Museum, because nothing says "fun" like vintage PC computing and abundant timelines. 😂 Dive into the rabbit hole of archaic tech musings and embrace the thrill of learning something utterly obsolete—every single day! 🙄

Face au #commodore #amiga 500,
le Prodest PC1 fait office de stage d’observation :
eux jouent et créent, lui prend des notes.

From Reddit: The NEC N5200 is a curious little workstation from 1987. It runs proprietary PTOS on an Intel 286. This version comes with a hard drive and boots from it. You can select boot option via a toggle on the case front

The number of times yearly that I regret giving away my 5.25" floppy drive or my QIC tape drive to electronic recycling is NONZERO.

I'm really getting much more of a chuckle from the puzzles thrown up by trying to use a #VintagePC on a modern network than I ever expected!

Modern #puTTY binaries won't run on #WindowsNT4; ancient binaries from January 2000 are available and will run, but can't connect to a modern #SSH server. Most effective for file transfer is a combination of #telnet specially installed on my daily driver #Linux machine and python3 -m http.server.

Netscape 4.7 works nicely with the Python HTTP server, and the telnet client that comes with Windows NT4 supports VT100 so on opening a shell on my Linux machine, I find the w3m command line web browser is just about usable - good enough to download ancient binaries and installers onto the Linux machine that can be served via Python's HTTP server.

I've also given #wrp, the Web Rendering Proxy, a spin; it's surprisingly effective. Runs on a Linux machine on the network and serves pages as GIFs with clickable image maps.

I've got an IdeaCentre K330B #Lenovo
#RAM is
DDR3-1333 PC3-10600, 240p DIMM

I'm using roughly: RAM: 4289MiB / 7798MiB

Seems like that system shouldn't max out at 8GB RAM.

Maybe it does. Seems like it would be alright if it could handle 16GB RAM.

Flash the BIOS or something?

This other lenovo thing takes 16 GB, but it doesn't have the #HDMI out.

IS THIS an 8GB Stick that would fit in the K330B?

Beige, yellow,... it doesn't bother us at all. In fact, we think it adds a special charm 💛 More new computers with horizontal cases, please! 😍

Can't wait for the power adapter replacement tomorrow to play around with this. 😻 🖥️ #vintagepc #ibmpcjr #pcjr #computers

I tried out the Game Blaster (Creative Music System) mode on my PicoGUS recently and put a video together to share my experience. Check it out!
