Remettre la main sur le Packard-Bell Navigator (SCOL/Cryo Networks), la version que j'avais sauvegardé en 2000-2001.

Constater qu'il tourne sans souci ni modif sous GNU/Linux :)

Sur Win9x, il y avait les icônes des applications dans les différentes pièces. Les jeux dans la chambre des enfants, les trucs audio-vidéo dans le salon, les utilitaires dans l'atelier…

Ich habe durch Zufall unseren ersten PC wieder entdeckt, den wir uns ca. 1995/1996 nach meiner längeren PC-Abstinenz zugelegt haben (für schlappe 3.499 DM oder 3.999 DM, ich weiß das nicht mehr so genau). Auf jeden Fall teuer! 🙈

DAS war ein Schätzchen! Der Schreibtisch war voll, es war irre viel Software drauf. Und der Packard Bell - Navigator erst... 😎

Cool war der schon. Aber dauerte dann halt auch immer etwas, bis man mal ein Programm geöffnet hatte. 😀

Mit Herzklopfen haben wir dann BTX für's Online Banking ausprobiert. Spannend war das damals.

Packard Bell Corner Computer: One of 1995's Strangest PCs

2024-11-03

El 3 de noviembre de 1999, NEC Computers International, anunció su plan de reestructuración de la compañía Packard Bell, que había adquirido recientemente, despidiendo al 80% de su planta y sacándolo del mercado de venta de ordenadores. PB se hundió por la guerra de precios que declararon Compaq y eMachines. Hoy PB así como eMachines pertenecen a Acer

Oh yeah, a link to that aforementioned project: github.com/SuperIlu/DOStodon

I've got the lever issue bandaided for now, but it looks like the onboard video is toast. I can hear it cycling up and POSTing, but no error beeps, no display.

I seem to remember the video being iffy the last time this board was powered up. I'll clean up the board, re-seat connectors and modules, see if that changes it, but otherwise maybe looking for a new video card.

The motherboard from my first machine, Jane 1.0. Purchased after I left Job Corp in June 1993 with the money I made from fighting fires with the Forest Service.

A Packard Bell I486 sx. with 4 meg of memory purchased from Service Merchandise. The math co-processor was purchased a few years ago. I was curious if one was out there. I kind of wish I had the whole machine.

Those with a keen eye can spot my shoddy solder work while attempting to replace a keyboard fuse.

I decided that this week's theme will be Mac vs. PC, and this Thursday, August 3 starting at 8PM EDT, I'll be working on vintage PCs including the 486 and the Packard Bell from the swap meet. youtube.com/live/0HYJZ5nuP30?f #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing #packardbell

ugh, I am really going to have to rethink the panel mounted HDMI connector in this thing. #packardbellmini #packardbell #doscember2022

Not entirely sure how these are going to print (the floppy drive in particular) but it's sized to hold an SD card slot that uses a ribbon cable to the microSD on the raspberryPi #3dprinting #raspberrypi #packardbell #doscember
