I just spent half a day restoring my old IBM PC 330 to a working state. It features an Intel Pentium 166MHz with 16MB of SDRAM and an 8GB IDE harddisk drive. There's also a networking card, as well as a Soundblaster 16.

As much as I appreciate its compact design, it's a real pain to assemble! Oh, well.. looks like everything's working again. Hurray! 😀

@dfx the value of that 16MB of RAM just keeps going up.

@dfx did you try to get the network card working?

@mok24 It is working, although I barely ever used it. I once transfered a few files through FTP using Windows 98 SE, which worked as expected.
