Pics of my suoer computer

[Shimo]

Well here they are.













Thats right this suckers got 512 kb of ram. a 1.4 gig hdd.... 4 bit colors 15 kb ram for color. And apparently weighs 23 pounds thats 11.5 kilos. Installed OS is windows 2. Ram can be expanded to a max of 2 mbs. State of the art components ranging in age from 1989 to 1991 What do you guys think? lol I pulled it out from the closet and blew the dust off... Tried hooking up the hdd to my presario SR5110NX and it didn't even pick it up.lol Still runs though.. Booted it up fine. Should have got a pic of that but I donated it to a museum already. They said they were wanting some stuff from the dawn of home computing lol. It was just taking up space anyways... You can buy this exact model off ebay for like 25 bucks lol.

Edit: forgot to mention I was amazed at the fact that the hdd read arm was not powered by magnets... Its got a little motor mounted underneath is on the outside of the drive.

25$ for that? What a rip-off.

[Shimo]

lol could be right... Its not even worth the shipping price... lol well its where it belongs.. Next to a bunch of other out dated technology.

Hey thanks for sharing the pics. I wish I kept pics of my old stuff, the c-64, the 286, 386, 486, Pentium, 1,2,3,4, ...yep all of 'em..

That was unusual - the HD arm like that. That why its cool to take shit apart.

Go clean your room.

Nice pictures; that beast has got some potential. Hell 25 dollars is a great price if it all works good. Shipping is another story, now turn that PC into a home monitoring system.

Yeah I know I was really surprised by the hdd. I still have the hdd so if you guys want I can see if I can get some better pictures of it with a real camera instead of my phone. Show you guys the motor... I tried getting a pic of it with my phone but it just wouldn't focus.

yeah, the good old C64...best with the datasette and turbotape 2...I remember playing Archon 1&2 whole nights with a buddy when his parents were not home...

for the younger generation that don't know what Archon is:

OMG I played that game. It was great....Do you guys remember peganutesy... The Indy Anna Jones rip off lol... I use to play it day in and day out... I think it came out in 84.. Don't quote me on that one though. Man I'm still amazed with what game designers were puting out with the hardware back then... They wer running off of kilabytes of ram now its tough to find a game that runs comfortably on 256 mb ram....
