My favourite thing about #atx is that I can hook up 2-year old power supplies to 27-year old computers. This PSU is over 8.5x more powerful than the original!

For context, I was testing to see if power delivery was the reason a GPU wasn’t working. Confirmed it’s not the power supply! #oldcomputer #oldpc #retrocomputer #cursed

A very small computer. Unlike the Speccy's rainbow design, it has red, green, and blue diagonal stripes at the bottom-left of the keyboard.

Here's an interesting machine called the GeoStar, which had a two-monitor display. On the left was a raster display for text. On the right, a vector display for plotting maps. It was used on mining sites.

On display at https://acms.org.au/

UPDATE: Got vector and raster sides mixed up.

I like to power on my #CRT monitors every now and then. This graphite #imac #imacg3 still looks good, even if the camera made it look soft! #retromac #oldmac #powerpc #powerpcmac #vintagemac #2000snostalgia #nostalgia #oldcomputer #retrocomputer

A graphite iMac G3 displaying the About This Mac window on Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger. The system specs list a 500MHz PowerPC G3 processor and 512MB of SDRAM. The desktop wallpaper is a stylized map from Fallout 3, shown in shades of blue and black that glow vividly against the CRT screen. The iMac sits on a desk beside a Dell keyboard and another beige CRT monitor, with CDs stacked on the left and a dimly lit room with pink insulation and grey curtains in the background.The same iMac G3 running Mac OS X Tiger with a Finder window open, showing user folders such as Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Movies, Music, and Pictures. The CRT emits a bright glow. A white Apple keyboard is positioned in front of the iMac, and to the left, a stack of jewel-cased CDs and a shelving unit with electronics and cables are visible.

Do you know from what computer this keyboard was from? It seems obscure, home brew computer. Was bought from a fleemarket in Dortmund. Someone put an Apple sticker on. Seems from the CP/M or DOS era.

Pulled out a noisy #486dx system in my collection! Listen to that hard drive! This one is among the oldest machines in my collection! Where did I get it? I don’t know! But, it works! (By the way, old machines like this have mains voltage going to those power buttons - don’t mess with them!) #oldcomputer #retrocomputer #intel486 #dos #msdos #plopbootloader #vintagecomputer #retrocomputing #90s #90snostalgia

Alright, the old TP is up and running with SparkyLinux - although it did not boot at first. But I always have a boot-repair-ISO at hand on my distro-stick.

The almost as old Travelmate 7740G from 2010 can stay as it is. Doing fine with Linux Mint 22.2. Nothing to worry. But it will move to the backseat as well.

A T14 (W11) and a E15 (LM) have joined the family. Not new, but good price and just great! 😀 💻

Why not give SparkyLinux (LXQT/Rolling) a chance?
Right now installing on my aged Thinkpad SL510. Yes, that machine is 16 years old. But still going strong. Cough. 😅
Well it is still quite useable with its original hardware - and with a lean linux.
Tried Kanotix (LXDE) first. But it did not cooperate well when customizing. 🤷‍♂️

8 Ko de RAM. Oui, tu as bien lu : HUIT. Pas giga, pas méga. kilo.
