I am having fun diffing through my attic.

I do have an IBM 8088 up there.

Right now I'm working on a ps-1   486

Damn cmos battery kept the right date!


It had 2 megs of RAM that I now took up to 64 megs

Label on the case says expandable to 64 megs and Pentium technology.

486 is soldered in, upgrading to Pentium a bit difficult.
