Last night I was donated a couple of HPs:
Pavilion 6648c
motherboard: P5S-VM rev 2.02
Socket 7, SiS530 chipset, 3xPCI, 1xISA
have not powered on yet but I think it has an AMD K6-2 550
would this be viable as a pure DOS PC? Or would it be better as a Win98/MS-DOS Mode machine?
Pavilion 6355
motherbvoard: P2L98-XV rev 1.02
Slot 1 (Celeron 333), i440LX chipset (I think), 1xAGP, 2xPCI, 2xISA
Both of these shipped with Win98. I've already got a nice Win98 rig, though, so I'm wondering if either of these would work as pure DOS machines? My current pure DOS system is not ideal (Packard Bell Multimedia C110), so I wouldn't mind doing a refresh.
I haven't had a chance to test them yet so I'm not even sure they are healthy.
The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.
