Idk what a DEC Server 700-16 does, but I have one at my work for some reason 🤔

It apparently has a 68020 CPU and SIMM slots for RAM!

VENIX 80286 (0x40) 磁碟分區要怎麼讀取?

目前只找到 Venix/386 的資料,石器時代的軟硬體還真的有點難度,有人實際玩過或成功讀取過嗎?

How do you read a VENIX 80286 (0x40) disk partition?
So far I’ve only found information about Venix/386, and dealing with this kind of stone-age hardware and software is pretty tough. Has anyone actually managed to access one of these partitions?

VENIX 80286(0x40)のディスクパーティションって、どうやって読み出せばいいのでしょうか?
今のところ見つかるのはVenix/386の情報ばかりで、石器時代レベルのハードやソフトを扱うのはなかなか大変ですね。実際に読めた方がいれば、ぜひ教えてください。

Look what hid in a small computer store in a small town (Lich). Nice one. Notice the logo of the shop - reminds you of a certain former computer company? Extra bonus points if you can even name the font...

#retropc #vintagepc Poszukuję (kupię, zamienię na inny sprzęt) sprawną płytę główną Socket 3 (486) z VLB/ISA (bez PCI) na chipsecie UMC. Producent dowolny. Zdjęcie poglądowe z theretroweb - czegoś podobnego szukam. Może komuś zalega w piwnicy.
Cel - sprawdzenie, ile da się wycisnąć z procesorów Am5x86 i PODP83 (Pentium Overdrive), a UMC to ponoć budżetowy, ale jeden z najszybszych chipsetów 486/VLB. Pora to zweryfikować po 30 latach.
Płyta główna Socket3.

Oh, I forgot to show you some super nostalgic images of #windows2000 booting up! Yes, takes me right back! (and, between you and me? This computer's host name is Alpaca.)

A beige IBM CRT monitor sits atop a Compaq Deskpro EN desktop computer, both part of a retro computing setup. The screen displays the early boot screen of Windows 2000 Professional, showing the “Starting Windows…” text with a horizontal progress bar made of small blue rectangles. Below it reads: “For troubleshooting and advanced startup options for Windows 2000, press F8.” To the left are a few jewel cases for CDs, and to the right is a Logitech speaker and a Mac mini is just barely visible. The background features pink fiberglass insulation and a curtain.The same IBM CRT monitor and Compaq Deskpro EN are now shown further along in the boot process. The screen displays the Windows 2000 Professional splash screen, featuring the Windows flag logo and the text “Built on NT Technology.” A loading bar near the bottom reads “Starting up…” with a copyright notice below: “Copyright © 1985–1999 Microsoft Corporation.” The glow from the CRT adds a soft light to the otherwise dim workspace. The rest of the setup remains unchanged, including the CD cases, speakers, and nearby Mac mini.

I can't stream Saturday, so let's do a quick early Friday morning (9AM eastern) stream to test out the cleaned-up, previously really nasty Commodore PC 20-III from last weekend's stream. You won't lose your breakfast like you lost your lunch last weekend! #vintagepc #commodore youtube.com/live/CEgB9h653AE?f

I had a couple of Atari ST computers in the '80s and remember them fondly. They were powered by this Motorola 68000 chip.
