This is a Barn find. It’s a Digital Station 800i.
I think this was Digitals attempt into the Intel CPU Multimedia computer market.
probably around 1995.

Does anyone know anything about this computer?
What was the original components ?

Looks like it has a Sound card / Modem combo , Matrox hard-drive, and Mitsumi 4x CDROM.
I have seen other photos of this computer and that CDROM drive appears to be correct.

Specs:
Pentium 100mhz
Motherboard - SIS chipset.
Ram - 16mb
Video - S3 trio 32
Audio - Opti 929A
Hard-drive - Matrox 1gb.
CDROM - Mitsumi 4x

I am almost done putting this computer back together.
It is a nice little computer and pretty well thought out for a 1995 computer.
The case is NOT tool less but still easy to repair and upgrade.

It was a little dusty but was stored in a dry room so it is not full of rust.

Looks like I need a new Dallas Battery and power switch.
So I am going to have to put this build on hold.

I might swap out the hard drive for a western digital.

I am pretty sure this computer was designed for Windows-95 or NT.
I was able to clean and restore all the original components so now it is back together and working great.
I just don’t have the original restore disks if their were any I don’t know ?

Running Win95b with updates.
