Oldest running sled is DOS 5.0 on a 25MHz AMD with 8MB of 70NS EDO with cga (orange or amber text depending on it's mood) video on a VT100 console
hooked up via RS-232... times change... OS is on a 250MB HDD. Not sure what year... only ISA and half ISA slots... and like a hundred jumpers.
My hotrod I'm workin' on has one of those spiffy new Gigabyte RAM drives... lightning freakin' fast, defrags on Diskeeper 9 in a minute... start
ups are like 10 seconds to fully loaded "quiet" desktop on XP... but my Rev 1.3 board seems to trash it's file allocation table on WINXP pretty
regularly... the drive is only 4GB too which makes it a bit difficult to "squeeze" my usual load onto it. It runs for about four or five days and
forgets what it "is" on boot. Thank God for "Ghost" and image backups... maybe after the first firmware update is released and I get that workin'
all nice and stable I want to try two of these RAM drives striped together to make 8GB for an OS and back that up regularly to HDD.
Fun thread, thanx,
