ArcticWolf Posted April 1, 2006 CID Share Posted April 1, 2006 Well I finally got a newer computer,used but much better then what I had,although I so hate Compaq computers cause there is no jumpers at all on the mobo to overclock the biatch. But I'm happy with it. Talked the guy down from $180 to $125... that's Canadian money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EWO Posted April 3, 2006 CID Share Posted April 3, 2006 Found my spare Seagate that goes in my Hyundai 80286 comp. Made some pics but my posting site is down right now - maybe later. This is a trip down memory lane. SEAGATE ST-251-1, 5 1/4' platters, 1/2 ht., 40MB. Price in 1988 was $ 479.00 - sure hurt to buy it then. Still works - little on the slow side tho. Little heavy too.

EWO Posted April 4, 2006 CID Share Posted April 4, 2006 No it's not on line. Don't have a modem in it. I have a few spare ones tho, I'll look them up and see if it will talk. When I said it was slow - it's a 12MHz machine 80286, 640kB of ram and that ST-251 wasn't a barn burner. I'll just have to see what I can do. Let you know , down the road. It's running DOS 3.11, had to put that in to be able to have a 1.44MB floppy drive - they were new back then. Good Microsoft or Logitek mouse would run you $50 to $75 dollars. Good Old Days -HUH !!!!!! Jim Tired and Retired Anybody ever fool with a Touch Screen Hewlett-Packard? Weird sucker !!!! Ball to use. Them Whoppers are real GOOD !!!
