I bought an old Zenith Data System's brand 386 PC (it's hueg like xbox) at Goodwill for $5.00. Here are the specs. It does work, save for the CMOS battery which was dead.
- Intel 386 CPU (don't know the MHz, probably 25Mhz)
- 640K RAM (not 1MB, 640K)
- You should see this big ol' MFM or RLL pre-IDE drive that's in it (some off brand), it's 2 5.25 drive bays tall and heavy, it's a 74MB drive that works perfectly except for one bad sector.
- 5.25 inch floppy
- 3.5 inch floppy
- ISA bus
- Some weird ISA VGA card
I do have this that I can put in it but it isn't in there now.
- ISA Soundblaster card (would give me an IDE interface and let me install a CD-ROM)
- 10Mbit ISA network card
- Logitech 28.8 ISA modem
It belonged to a church. When I first booted it, I found all sorts of information on some church, including member's addresses and phone numbers. Always wipe your HDs before you sell them!!! But I reformatted and have MS-DOS 6.22 on there now.
So what should I do with it?
