CPU: Pentium M at 1.76GHz
CPU GMA915gm
1GiB RAM, 320GiB HDD
XP and Lubuntu 18.04, planning to replace it and quadboot
Can use ethernet (PxE is fun), wifi and landline modem (haven't tested yet)

Slowest "thing" I can connect to the internet: Uzebox
MCU: overclocked ATmega644P at 28.636MHz
WIFI: ESP8266
memory: whatever is in MCU plus 2GiB SD and 128KiB RAM expansion

Was an hp-compaq 6720s but I have given it away.

i have one from 1992, still runs win97
the label faded on her in 03 and i cant remember the brand so im outta luck there

shes a workhorse though. yup
user her for computations and other offline activities

i also have one PC from back in 97, use that one for old DOS games

try harder, op:
these faggots get it.

it's half cheating, but a TRS-80 model 100 using a NodeMCU with custom firmware, RS232/TTL, all powered by the external bus, can telnet into BBS's from TELCOM. i could apply this to any of the 8-bits i have too, but it's cool to have it both portable and self-contained.

i plan to integrate a pi zero W into the case and solder it directly to the RS232 pins eventually, using the RAM battery switch on the back as power so it's all seamless/reversible.

other than that, oldest thing i've connected from bare metal is a NeXTstation color.

What I could do but dont really see why I should: 286 PC with network card
Maybe even a PC XT but I don't know if that main board even works

>Sound Blaster 16
Does it work well in the 8bit isa slot?

why shouldn't it?

>Actually set up and working:

Oh hey, got a 233MMX with 98SE. Well, it's not running normally, but it's just a matter of plugging the cable in and pressing the switch.

Most clones I tried had issues

>What I could do but dont really see why I should: 286 PC with network card

Go deeper: Get a Commodore Amiga with hardware PC emulation expansion like KCS, AtOnce or Golden Gate and get it networking somehow.

But that's just a frankensteins monster
I also own a C64 and an atari 800xl

Has a 25mhz 486SX and but I have a DX50 or 66 overdrive in the mail. I also have a Compaq 286 laptop but I don't have a PSU for it and I don't even know if it works. The model is known for caps going bad in it but its physically brand new looking. No pics of it though.

Yup, works just fine. However, it's a PnP version, so I needed to add the configuration utility to autoexec.bat. Apparently it uses 80186 instructions, so you need to have a V20 fitted. Shouldn't be an issue with older cards that use jumpers for configuration.

Generic bentium shitbox from the mid 90s.
Not the oldest around, but it doesn't rely on a modern proxy or sbc 50x as powerful as itself to get online either.

The webkit render proxy is pretty cool though, you should try that one

The oldest thing I've managed to achieve that with is a Performa 6320CD.

nice user

Is that ARM or MIPS based?

I have one of those but I don't have either the RAM or a power brick. It just sits in my shelve, looking aesthetic.

>2014
Might as well use Classilla

Last update to the script was 4 months ago, and even if it was outdated it still would not matter much since webkit is separate from it

I see. I'll give it a try then.

just get a gpd win if you want to play games on a pocket pc

Attached: asusPC1000.jpg (450x364, 58K)

Original Pandora was great, it came out 10 years ago though, maybe you're confusing it with Pyra. The only problem with Pandora is that it's outdated now.
If you want to play games, wait for a GPD Win 2 Max or at least Win 2. The original Win has more flaws than worth it.

Think of the scrap metal you could use on that.

Would buy this if it had newer high end guts.
Why are all modern computers dressed in latex (black)?

>Why are all modern computers dressed in latex (black)?
There are two problems with bright plastic:
- you can see dirt much better
- metallic painted plastic was popular in the mid 2000s, when the paint rubs off it computer looks VERY ugly

Why not the old school colour tones (like the skin coloured tones)?

The people who bought computers in the 1980s and early 1990s were mostly businesses that wanted something that looked like another appliance
Consumers today want flashy and slick crap

Fuck the UI looks so good. Why can't we go back?

A 486 DX2
I don't have it plugged in at the moment since I was going to upgrade some things on it but I've got 2 CF cards for it, one with Win 3.1 and one with Win95 OSR2. Was looking to load OS/2 Warp 4 on it but the partitioning tool did not like the CF card, so I may set that up in PCEM and image the CF card to run on real hardware.
I've got thousands of DOS and Win3.1 games on a network share that I pull from on the PC. Its nice to just search the share for a game and just pull from it then having to load from a floppy, floppy emulator, or CD.

the browser for Commodore 64 doesn't support https, so you can't do jack shit with it, it's also insanely slow. I wasted a lot of money and even met up with a fat old guy wearing a towel in the middle of the night to get all the parts including the same monitor, was not worth it, it's just collecting dust

Consumers just want something that works 2bh.
Morons or rich people buy things for looks.

I love that computer, I have three of those myself. The calculator app might be the most advanced RPN environment ever made.

I mainly use my 200LX's to store my passwords because nobody can hack 'em.

Usually a 1996-ish Pentium Pro or PPC 604 machine depending on what I feel like messing with. I don't like the web with less than 128 MiB of RAM.

Is that one of those Radius tilty monitors? I had one at my office in the early '90s, it was great. I think it did 8 bit greyscale.

I wish, it's a Micron OEM'd... something. I have no idea who actually made it, looks nice when it's clean though, and it's quite practical for shitboxes.

Probably should use my 200 or 95LX for that, sounds like a good idea.

I don't have it set up right now but the oldest machine I ever got connected to the internet was an IBM AT. 8MHz 80286, 2MB of RAM (I forget whether the part of that above 640K was EMS or XMS or whatever the fuck), its original 30MB HDD, and a 3Com Etherlink NIC. Not all original, has some Trident VGA card in it, not an EGA one.

well yeah but then the machine you're telnetting into is doing the heavy lifting. Here's Arachne running directly on mine, no modern machine in the way. This empty image took a good 60 seconds to download and render. TLS was of course out of the question but if I remember correctly sites like motherfuckingwebsite.com worked fine. The NIC was good for about 50KB/s just FTPing to my main computer, but Arachne took a lot longer than that to load anything (and hammered the hell out of that poor old drive doing it)

>Oldest
IBM R40 from 2003, was given to me by a friend of the family quite a few years ago. Picture is a bit dated but should move over the point.

Running Lubuntu, mostly used as a typing machine since the keyboard is pretty GOAT though CPU fan died a couple years back and couldn't be bothered to replace but it should be in working order otherwise.

>Slowest
Mothers old Toshiba Netbook, running on some of the very earliest Intel Atom CPU's, struggling with Linux mint and god forbid Windows 7. Refuses to change over to something more usable.

It's just parsing the Jow Forums API, not that heavy. But fair enough.
>Here's Arachne running directly on mine, no modern machine in the way.
I tried to get Arachne running on my XT, but it turns out I don't even have enough space in the drive to install it. And XT-IDEs are too expensive for my NEET budget.
By the way, here's the machine I was telnetting into. Sun Ultra Enterprise 250 from 1998. Not that old, but not exactly new either.
