Pulled out a noisy #486dx system in my collection! Listen to that hard drive! This one is among the oldest machines in my collection! Where did I get it? I don’t know! But, it works! (By the way, old machines like this have mains voltage going to those power buttons - don’t mess with them!) #oldcomputer #retrocomputer #intel486 #dos #msdos #plopbootloader #vintagecomputer #retrocomputing #90s #90snostalgia

#intel used to name CPUs DX and SX to differentiate between high and low end, but they weren't consistent in what those letters meant across generations, which can lead to some confusion. In this blog post, we'll explore some differences and misconceptions about the 486 SX and DX. #retropc #RetroComputing #intel486 https://dfarq.homeip.net/486sx-vs-486dx-a-closer-look/

I'm really in a shocked love state. As promised, here are some better pictures of the #SiemensNixdorf #PCD4NL. It's a small lottery win: No scratches, no breaks, not really discolored. Looks like it's been sleeping in its pocket for the last 30 years.
And as you can see, I still have the original warranty certificate in case something breaks. I added an optical PS/2 mouse to make #GeoWorks easier to use.
