186 processor with a math co processor. 4MB of ram, 50MB hard drive, and to show off how versatile it can be, I am installing both kinds of storage- 3.5 AND 5 1/4 floppy disks!! Man this thing is going to SMOKE my old PET computer, it'll kick a tandy around like a puppy. :respect:

Also, it's running DOS 5.0! man I can't wait to play some games...

Completely Bonkers · Feb 9, 2007

I can sell you some ram to upgrade your machine if you like ;-P

Murasame · Feb 9, 2007

OH SNAPS!!! Did you say DOS 5.0? That machine is a beast. Can't wait to see some screens of the sick graphics.

gto78 · Feb 9, 2007

I think I can take a polaroid picture of the screen and mail it in.

gto78 · Feb 9, 2007

man this thing cost me a pretty penny too. Bought it all at government auctions, it's top quality just like the US post office uses....

Completely Bonkers · Feb 9, 2007

I think this guy is going completely b------. Can you guess the missing letters?

gto78 · Feb 9, 2007

I gotta turn this thing off before my electric bill gets too high... lol

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah lol

Completely Bonkers · Feb 9, 2007

Is your blazing system silent? Passive cooling? WOW. NICE!

lemonadesoda · Feb 10, 2007

R-type? I think that will work on the 186. What other games are you thinking of?

maybe I can play hang man, solitaire, you know- all the latest top of the line stuff that peaks your mind's abilities.

Completely Bonkers · Feb 10, 2007

"pique" perhaps? as in "pique your interest"?

solitaire is windows 3.0. You can't run windows 3.0 on a 186. You need a 286. Due to memory management design.

SlipSlice · Feb 10, 2007

possibly mine sweeper, but it is a system sucker fo' show.

Alcpone · Feb 10, 2007

I wonder how will you get Sandra/ PCMark running on that beast :respect:

Me: 3DMark07 go go go~
80186: WTF is 3D?
Me: Something you can never do.
90186:Oh?

I thought the 387 was the first math coprocessor? Wasn't everything before that just FPU?

Anyway, ditch DOS 5.0, use 6.22, it has a lot less irritations. Comes with various handy tools that 5.0 lacks as well.

Nitro-Max · Feb 10, 2007

did i read right a 50mb hard drive?

niko084 · Feb 10, 2007

Heh I got a smokin Atari X80 I think it is with 512k of RAM! oo baby be jealous!

I also just found a 286 12mhz 386 16mhz and a 486 DX4 100! WhoopTA!
And 8mb of ram.. Lol wonder what else I have sitting around here....

Math Co Processor days though, thats pretty old.. I miss those systems.. I remember the day I went from a 486 dx66 to my dx4 100 omg! And then my next step was a PENTIUM! MMX 166! It was the holy friggen grail! After that was my UBER K6 233 and then a K6-2 450!

Monster 3d video card 16mb on board with my 16mb add on card for 32mb of PCI video ram!

Ohh the memories..

Completely Bonkers · Feb 10, 2007

1./ I've got a Promise ISA caching controller with memory slots. You can put a huge cache behind your HDD. It'sa big speed up. PM your offer.

2./ I've got an ISA ethernet 10/100 card... so you can link your monster to LAN and play CounterStrike and other online games

3./ I've got an ISA sound card in case you need to make your monster ROCK

4./ Need a better GPU? I could go looking...

gto78 · Feb 10, 2007

Once it's all finished I'm gonna open my own computer store and use it as a good example of "All this could be yours!"- do you think it will invite new business...lol

What was that long slot in the old IBM Ps2 mainboards.... It wasn't an ISA...But I can't remember what it was... I was always looking for a sound card for that stupid thing!

External weighs about 2lbs.. lol
