Hi!

That's amazing! My first PC computer 36 years ago was one. Does yours have
a "Turbo" button to switch between standard 4,77 Mhz and a higher rate?
What model and make is it? Mighty my, I remember I even tried Windows/286
at the time, although there was not really much use for it.

Best regards
Tobias

yooooooooo!!!! mine is custom built by me
mine actually has the turbo button and everything!!!!!!
i found many uses for an old 286
here is the specs
i have a 25mHz 16mb 286 m216 board and it is fast... until it broke XD dang solder is shite it needs fresh solder at the chipset chip

i currently use one of those 50$ router boards from ebay with no proper bios for the mobo so i had to find one for the same chipset!! xD 12mHz 1mb of ram 287 @ 8mHz! XD underpowered i know! i custom built all my desktops! <3

My first was an 8088. No HD but dual floppies! Terbo was was 4.77megahurtz ;-). Screaming speed daemon of the day with a USR 300baud modem! Only light was a lit USR emblem on the front. Ran the first Shenk's Express on it but not part of Fidonet. mid-1980's. Chat me to swap from game floppy to down load floppy.

Hello Tobias,

I am very glad to see that you are still in Fidonet. Don't you want to return to developing Husky?

I'm sure I'm not alone in having thrown out tons of old hardware over
the years. I moved every couple of years in my 20s and 30s, and when
living in an apartment, storage space is at a premium.

I can think of at least 6 computers I tossed over the years because of
lack of storage and obsolescence, that, if I knew they would have come
back in style, would have kept.

An Osborne 1. Compaq Portable II. An IBM PC XT - the real thing, with
IBM keyboard and monitor. A 486/50 local bus system. Pentium Pro 200.
All gone.

Sure, but the BBS you're posting from appears to be in Australia, looking at its Fidonet address. And the joke about the "Austr[al]ian accent" is authored by the legendary L.Christmas from "Dumb & Dumber". (-:

It's not that they're "back in style" I think. It's just that some people are hoarders, so they appeared to consciously make hoarding obsolete hardware their hobby. The truth is it's hard to be a hoarder if you don't have a spacious basement. :-)

I started with only a 486/DX4 back in the day (as my 1st home PC). The earliest memory of a PC I have seems to be an XT with an orange phosphor display, but I don't think I'd put it to good use nowadays.

Hi Michael,

"still" is not the right term. I recently returned.

I am still evaluating whether resuming developing is worthwile. I must say that together with quitting Fidonet some years after I got married, I also quit developing. I am a patent attorny nowadays. Of course, C is still my second mother tongue ;), but I would have to make quite an effort to get
back on boat.

Of course, If I should decide to set up my own node once more, it will be Husky and it won't be long until I will be submitting some bug fix or
other as need arises ;).

Best regards,
Tobias

Several years ago I converted the Husky repository from cvs to git and it is now on Github:

And of course you are always welcome to continue development.
