Old hardware for anyone who might need or want it

Post Reply New Topic

I have a small accumulation of some old computer hardware, components and software I will gladly give to anyone who might want or need any or all of it. One computer is a classic IBM 433 (ISA) with an upgraded processor (85 mHz), Windows 95 and its matching monitor. Another is a Windows 98 eMachine, and then I have a couple of XP-era mobos, a stack of hard drives of various sizes and some various PCI cards as well as various pieces of memory. I also have two small (4.3 GB) SCSI drives and their card plus an old SCSI B/W scanner and its card. I would ask for at least half of the shipping or USPS expense to be paid, but the stuff I have to offer is free.

Any collectors or accumulators here?!

Oh man, I love messing around with 90s and 2000s era hardware, but I already have too many computers in my house, so I don't have room for it.

Understood, and part of my dilemma is in needing to reduce the accumulation while I am still able so my wife will not have to deal with so much of it after I am gone! But apart from that, right now I am working on the Windows 98se installations in a couple of multi-boot machines with 2GB/4GB (respectively) and 64-bit processors. I have made some tweaks to the system(dot)ini and system(dot)cb (Safe Mode) files, but the video cards are causing me some grief. If you might happen to know anything about adding a RAM Drive to the Win98se boot process, I would welcome some advice or experience there.
