No flamewar here. I've also got an Atari 400 with 48k, 400 with
16k, 800XL with 256k and 3 OS ROMs that are switch-selectable, 810 disk
drive with Happy Mod, Indus GT drive, 830 RS232 interface, the paper-roll
plotter, and an external keyboard with a 4 foot ribbon cable for one of the
400's that I hand-wired oh-so-many years ago (I hand-wired the keyboard,
not the Atari).

Not to mention the IBM PS/2s (9577 Lacuna, 9577 Bermuda), the unremarkable
Dell machines, other no-name boxes, and all the odds and ends lying about.

I like those machines. Too bad that our current economic principles drive
production to single technologies.

Hallo, james,

Nice machines - I'd look into my archive: had they still ESDI HDs or had
they already these new IDE HDs?

But running Linux on PS2 machines was a nice adventure, starting with
kernel compilation and a boot disk ...

What abour my first computer? cbm 4016. No Linux (I've got this machine
1978 ...).

Viele Gruesse

"Ubuntu" - an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me".

yes, to think how superior certain technologies were, that didn't become
the defacto standards is curious...I have thinned my herd down to
2-9595A's with P90 complexes that I have hot-rodded to P200MMX w/256ram.
One runs OS/2Warp4 -forever it seems- and the other still happily hums
along with Slackware7. I can't remember when the last time was that I
had to reboot either of these boys. They ain't broke and I ain't fixin'
'em.
