Hi!
I did not find a presentation topic so... here I am.
I m new here and just want to say hello to this community and I was... lurking from long ago.... decided to join in.
I am currently currently reviving old 286 PCs so I'm going to need some help here, my time period being more like the 90s 486 / pentiums I II III.

Hi!
But "Hi" is not a proper heading. So maybe just delete this and make a new one in
General Old Hardware
When it is about reviving old hardware.

"Hi" is a fine topic heading - hi and welcome!

I've only restored one 286 and it was very easy to work with - a lot easier than 486's anyway! Looking forward to seeing some pics.
