What is the OLDEST Computer You Have That Still Works?
I'm sure there are some oldies, but goodies amongst us.
For me, I still have, sitting over here on a shelf, a Compaq Prolinea 5100 that was assembled in 1994. It still fires up whenever I hook up a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to it.  It's one of those 'real' Desktop computers and one of the early ones that came with a PCI slot right adjacent to the ISA slot. So, what's your own oldie, but goodie? |

currently, the oldest i have is an HP 6645c or something like that......it's a 566Mhz Celeron w/192Mb of SDR (i upgraded it from the 64Mb of ram it came with), a 4x2x48x optical drive, and a Seagate 15Gb HDD.
before that, it was my old 486 dx66, like 8Mb RAM, and 2Gb HDD.....i kept that until i moved my room around and i didn't need that machine as a night stand anymore  |

I have an Old Compaq Presario that was worth like 3,000 in the 90's, I can run windows XP on it but I refuse to because 98 rocks! Still using the Office 2000 from that comp on this one though. Also still using the old printer for the other comp.

I don't generally keep my hardware that I can't use. The oldest working computer I have is a Pentium 166, as an linux router/firewall.

Atari 800 and Atari 400 - both 48k machines. They work fine...
I actually have several programming languages for them, including C, Assembly, and two versions of Basic, the Operating System/Service/Technical manual for the 800 - and still have a Dot Hatch/Color Bar program I wrote in Atari Basic to hook up to TVs for alignments. Of course, I have the requisite plethora of cartridge games for them too... |
