Although it has VGA card, the amber plasma screen displays only 16 shaded of orange, so EGA games look best on it.

That's kind of cool in amber. Makes it look like a Dune world.
Everything looks really cool in amber - but I am not objective, my first PC was AT with Hercules graphics card and monochrome amber monitor. It's imprinting, I guess - I now have a soft spot for old amber games.
I agree, I once played the first three Leisure Suit Larry titles on this......that was back in 2005 or so. I rather miss my old Deskpro 386, maybe I"ll get another one once I buy a house.
I did a bunch of stuff this weekend, the 486 is already fully loaded on it's replacement Win95 drive, though I'm looking for the Windows 95 PTI-255W drivers for it that I stowed away somewhere. Next up will be creating virtual CD-ROM files (yep, virtual CD-ROM, so I can run that pesky Diablo without a CD) and changing the PTI-255W VLB IDE Controller from 600ms seek time to 280ms (I'm running PIO4 drives on this thing, might as well set it to PIO3 transfer rates), then it'll probaby be a good time to test out some multitrack recording in ntrack studio 3 again......with 600ms access time I was able to lay down three tracks (guitar, bass, drums).....with 280, it might make things more stable.
