Personally, I like them because they are the "real thing" also - not because of absolute period correctnes, though. If you're working with a generic 286/386/486 and ISA bus based AT-class PC, you experience the software in the same way as the developers of the time. You will likely see (or not see) …

but my integrated ide controllers work well and are quite modern. On a performance level, my only question was whether the SCSI controller having its CPU was more powerful for this reason. Also could you consider my particular hardware solution instead of a generic computer? I should take a single …

I said "was near impossible", not totally impossible. If you notice #11 is just below 233mhz and 7 of those 10 that are 233 or higher are by the same person and there is no mention if they run stable, just a CPU-Z screen showing the speed. I found it very easy to get my 512KB cache PentiumPro 200 …

the Pentium 200 could arrive to the games of 1999 even without a 3D card? Considering that it doesn't handle 3D well it could be useless right?

What's so expensive at repairing a PC ? Capacitors cost just a few cents, SD cards + adapter cost 20 bucks at most and other parts can often be gotten for cheap in lots, but they don't fail that often and they often cost more when you're looking for something specific. Fixing my Compaq Deskpro 386s …
