@rimu - Is the goal to do this to show it can be done? Or is usenet groups still more active than I expect or remember?

Some of us started on machines where 640K was more than enough. This is the space for vintage hardware, classic operating systems, old-school Unix, CP/M, Amiga, Commodore, early PCs, and anything that makes you feel nostalgic - or curious about how we got here. Show off your collection, share a restoration project, ask for help getting that old VAX to boot, or just tell us about the first computer you ever touched. Old hardware never dies. It just waits for someone who still cares.
