Restore in progress.

This little #Compaq #Armada 1500c just got a 4 GB PATA SSD (yes, a real SSD) and will be a perfect DOS/Win9x machine.

While having the keyboard removed for some light cleaning, I thought why not upgrade the RAM. It now has 128 MB - which means I can disable the swap file in Windows 95 to prolong the life of the SSD. 🙂

@derSammler

Did this thing sell with the PATA SSD or did you swap that one in?

If it sold with one and it is still working than that is quite impressive.

@agowa338 no, I added that myself.

@derSammler I didn't even know they made 2.5" IDE SSDs. Interesting.

@nazokiyoubinbou They existed for a very long time. This one's over 20 years old. I have an even older one with 64 MB (yes - MB, not GB).

In my A1200, I have a 32 GB one made by Transcent. I think you can even still buy those (but they are expensive).

@derSammler 64MB? Geez. At that point I'd rather go with a CF card + adapter or something.
