Let's start with some history: it was February 2020 and I was rummaging through eBay when I found this little gem (I've always loved the design of IBM computers, albeit with some exceptions). When I get to the computer it was pretty dirty, dust everywhere and rust on the case (but fortunately nothing serious). I start by cleaning it with the intention of restoring it, but between work and various problems I have to postpone everything to better times. We come to today, I'll make it short, I finally find the time and the opportunity to go back to work on the little gem and now I present the result.
And now some news, so that if you want (and I'd like to) you can give me some advice to improve the project.
The computer was equipped with a Celeron 366 Mendocino CPU equipped with a passive heatsink (and this I left considering that the PC will have to deal with late games was MS-Dos and before it was Win9x). Initially it had 64MB of Ram, but to be more comfortable I increased the Ram to 128MB (it shouldn't give problems in DOS - I use MS-Dos 6.22 on a dedicated partition).
Equipped with a DVD player, it has an 8 GB Quantum hard drive.
I added a SoundBlaster 16 CT2230 + Yucatan FX, and as you can see a 12MB Voodoo2 (Orchid Righteous).
Let's get to the sore point: original 145W PSU -> can it give problems?
I am waiting to hear what you think and thanks for your time.
