I picked up a couple of these lovely Wugo PCIIs lately. One is trashed, but the other was mint - except the motherboard is dead.
I love how they look, and wanted to justify space for it, except there is none to be had at home. So I thought perhaps i can bring one to work with me.
So while it's innards are in my to-fix pile, i swapped in some _slightly_ more modern and usable bits to get it up and running
the specs are a bit vanilla and inconsequential, in fact so much so that i didn't bother figuring out who made any of the parts
-generic mini AT 386SX-25 board i had sitting around with 4MB RAM
-generic 16bit ISA VGA card
-generic 16bit ISA I/O IDE controller
-quantum 4.3gb IDE drive - the machine can only address 512mb, but this was the smallest drive i had in stock
-a pair of lovely Teac 1.2/1.44's i had in black . was saving these for another build but since it's a visible part of the machine i decided to borrow them for Milton. I've always been a bit partial to Teacs
-CT2940, my least favorite sound card
-dell bigfoot keyboard with alps switches
-Rasterops Superscan MC17 CRT that i've been meaning to free up from storage. i believe it's made by Hitachi
as intended it's become quite the conversation piece at work. Some millenials tried using it and couldn't figure it out. I'm not sure what I plan to do with it, and i'm not positive this thing can even handle the cryptographic demands to use as an SSH terminal - perhaps if I route it through my main PC. Just running DOS 6.22 at the moment.
I have no clue what I'm doing! If you want to watch me fumble through all my retro projects, you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/user/MrDavejustdave
