Greetings,
As part of my Ultimate P3 and Ultimate 486 projects (and soon recreating my 1999 Gateway Performance 450 and putting together some Pentium 1 systems), I am putting together hybrid machines (period correct and convenience parts like CF/SD-IDE adapters.) I use modern parts only if drivers exist for DOS/WFW/Win98, otherwise I try to go with period correct items. I am going to be making a LAN for older PCs, and I am hoping to use a 10/100 switch that was made as early in the 90's as possible, with at least four ports, though eight would be good. This will be for playing MP games of W.C. Armada, Warcraft, Doom, Blood, etc.) I can find retro switches, but finding the years that they were made can be difficult. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
