Did you build it yourself? What OS did you use? Did you have internet access?
Feel free to outline the component brand names and model (if you remember them) and let us know if you still have access to the computer.
This was in Jan 1997. It was running Windows 95 (Windows 98 wasn’t released yet). No internet (we got dialup later in the year; maybe in the late summer). It was built by my parent’s colleague (company system admin), I was too young to build my own PC.
*Pentium I 133 MHz *1.5 GB HDD *CD-ROM Drive *FDD *Sound Blaster 32 (remember getting Sound Blaster Live! In the next build). *32 MB RAM *S3 ViRGE 325 (4 MB RAM if I remember correctly).
I think the colleague who built it sold it off when we got a new build.
Good question, I don’t know! This was around 1985-ish
It was a 30 kg (60 odd pounds) beast, white, with built in 4-6 inch black /green monitor and keyboard and it used round small (about 2 inch diameter) cassettes to load data from, hidden under a black panel. It had 4 or 8 kilobytes of memory, and I played games with it…there was chess, racing, and some more.
I remember having to put in the cassettes in a certain way, then press a thumb switch to make it load the boot program which would give me a menu from which I could select games to play.
My dad brought it home one day, some insurance company dumped them en-masse.
Anybody who might know from that description what machine it was?
