Well done TheAbandonWareGuy. I'm pleased for you. Do a good job first. Build a rapport with your colleagues and boss and then work out what you can poach.
My 'end of year' self-retro-appraisal has been positive.
Yesterday evening, (with Phil's YouTube video guide) I installed the OnTrack Disk Manager and instead of using the 40 MB hard drive in my 386, it's now a whopping 4GB on a Compact Flash Card. (Thanks once again Phil). I put some games on it.
I'll do the same with my 486 which is nearly full on it's 500 MB hard drive.
In the new year, I'll do something with the WinChip 180 machine. I think I'll install Windows 95.
I nabbed a Playstation 1, which was sitting around at my parents house.
And the P3 tower (from my last set of photographs); I re-installed Windows XP, installed a working USB2.0 PCI and Firewire card with 5.25" bay adapter. I installed some games from GoG. Found a £2 USB Trust Gamepad from B&M Family Bargains store.
I tried the Slotket 370 adapter, but the 1Ghz CPU wasn't recognised. I think this board is limited to 700 Mhz. And I'm awaiting on some more RAM.
I ordered a Creative DXr2 for nostalgia's sake and will probably use that in the WinChip machine.
There's a UK Ebay auction which ends today for the same P3 tower and same 17" monitor that I've got. I want it (as a backup), but can't justify it.
