Yes it is the 3 x 120 degrees thingy. I am in Switzerland.

Well, finally dug out the one I thought I had, it's for the later LTE, but I have not seen a good voltage out of it yet. Apparently it's really common for the capacitors to go out and there are repair vids on youtube. There seem to be some around at reasonable prices if you look up by part number.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

can you tell us if you found out more about that 'myotest scope' from omszov? looks interesting

It's a pulse massage machine used for the treatment of chronic pain with multiple waveform modes. It outputs 220VDC on the coaxial ports so I decided not to put the electrodes directly on my heart. 🤣
I have a roadside find instead, a standard slot1 IBM 300PL with lots of dirt and a Deschutes 400.

Those are solid machines as long as you like them as they are, pain in the arse to upgrade.

The myotest thing sounds a bit like an early version of a TENS unit or a "Dr Ho" device.

seeing that sticker designed for windows 95 and NT wow two different worlds, maybe you could dual boot if it still works

Man... those take me back. Very common machines when I was in middle and high school. 😀

Now for some blitting from the back buffer.

"Roadside find" as in literally just dumped outside? Why doesn't that happen to me?`

Please use the "quote" option if asking questions to what I write - it will really up the chances of me noticing 😀

Probably wasn't dual boot when new, but to be able to fit into multiple user segments?

thanks! yes i think i wouldn't even switch the pulse machine on! 😀

nice roadside find too, looks good for being out 'in the wild'

Thats right, this was very typical for business class machines. In our case pre XP we standardised on 98 for desktops connecting to 2k server
You would select the pre-installed OS version at purchase but most of the time you would still receive the recovery CD's for both OS's.
I did come across one laptop Sony? Fujitsu Simmens? that had both a Win9x and NT flavour of windows installed but you had to select which one you wanted first time you turned the computer on and it deleted the other OS and continued setting up the selected one, so still no dual boot

Other common stickers were 98 + 2000, 2000+ XP, XP + Vista

Yes that "choose your OS" was a bit common during certain years with workstation class machines. Certain mid 2000's Dell Vostro's were that way, either XP or Win2k3 iirc..

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun
