After I recieved my SCSI harddrive. I have begun building the last machine for my collection/personal museum.
This build is aimed at authentic era speed. Plus minus some. More or less a machine, as you would buy back in and around 1987/88.
This build is in other words, a build slightly faster than a standard 286 (not those super fast 286's)
I have used a motherboard with a 386sx33 and a 387 math co-processor.
I have installed 4 megabyte of 60ns Ram (quite shure it's not 70ns).
40 megabyte Conner SCSI harddrive, wich came from an old Macintosh LC.
An Plextor CD-RW SCSI drive.
An Adaptech 1542c SCSI controller with build in Floppy controller.
A-Open 300watt low noise ATX psu (with -5volt) and an ATX to AT converter cable.
At this moment it is running with a Trident 9000c ISA card, because I am waiting for a CL-5424 1mb ISA card.
For sound, I am thinking of installing something that has SB-Pro standard and not SB16 (seem's more appropriate)
It is by far fast. It is actually slow for a 386 system. Though I like it as it is right now.
Slow, and makes the right noises. Responds like PC's used to respond back then.
Everything brings back memories, and I really look forward to game some Dynablaster, Stunts, Stuncar Racer
and other nice titles on this machine. For the record. The SCSI drive runs cold and not that loud.
So... Low capacity, slow, cold. Just what I want from a SCSI harddrive, for this project. 😜
Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....
