Yeah, but if you haven't still got it, well, it doesn't matter, does it?
I've got a disassembled full-tower 386 sitting in the attic, complete with 20MB 5.25" hard drive. Though, it kinda crashed, so it's useless. (It is for this reason it is in pieces in a box. 😜)

Yes, it’s my fault.

Yeah, some crap SB compatible thing 😜
Oh, and I love the soundcard in our HP Vectra (P2 300MHz), it's compatible with a soundcard that is soundblaster compatible.
Now talk about being cheap.

Yeah, and it seems to be mono, or something has been broken during it's lifetime (I should get of my lazy ass and replace it with my old SB64).
Good thing I don't use that comp at all.

Reminds me of my old system(P2 500) that would randomly open and close the CD drive, really annoying while playing a game, sometimes it would ruin a perfectly good session of Lord Of The Rings(Interplay)...
And it freaked out the dogs too.

I usually get paranoid about having a virus or some other unwanted thing running on my system when I see random floppy drive accessing happening...

Maybe when you're trying to open a file or some other filesystem browsing task, but just out of the blue when you're not doing anything file-related? I've seen it happen and it does make me paranoid 😜
