I was able to get it up 100%. Had to load programs via a paper tape reader...you know, long rolls of punched paper tapes...very up to date and modern. :D :D
My latest challenge is upgrading an old 486 with 16mb of RAM using Win3.1 to Win95 and getting it internet ready.
And yes, it has a modem, a 9600bps!
After I put in a new modem, my challenge is finding ram for this thing, I think its 40-pin Edo. I'm not sure. I have a friend who seems to know old computers.
How can I find out for sure? It doesn't say what kind it is on the ram itself.
That should be 30 pin, and I don't think there ever was EDO in 30 pin simm packaging......hard to find, but when you find it, its usually free. People may want to charge you for the 4MB sticks, which were the biggest they ever gotQuote:

My oldest system is NOT running at the moment (bad PSU). It's a custom Duron 800/256MB/20GB/32MB video.
Everything older is either in parts or donated to a family member.
I have an old p200 w/64 m/b ram and 3.1gb hard win95 that my grandkids play the older games on.P5 gateway
