Old PCs — Free to Good Home

I bought these to play with, but never got around to it.

The top one’s (I think) a 286/10, the bottom one’s a 386/16. I actually have a 486/100 upstairs which is plenty old enough for what I need.

If you’re in the OKC area and are older than old school, drop me a line and come get these.

  • I have so many of these in my garage. I keep them because I always tell myself I will load up DOS 6.22 and Monkey Island on them.

    That’s what the 486/100 is for; it dual boots DOS and Windows 95.

    Lol Rob..

    I thought it would be cool to start doing the retro-gaming thing and went out and bought an amiga 2000 and found a guy selling about 2000 floppy disks with games. I was so excited, I plugged it in booted up a few games and its been sitting every since. I wish I was retired so I could spend the time to actually play with all these toys! :)

    I did the same thing. I have at least one Amiga 500 and one Amiga 1200 upstairs.

  • Lookit those gross old things! Man, the PC really lacked the charm of the competing Amigas / STs / Macintoshes / etc.

    I wonder about the utility of something like this for weird “embedded” applications though, like powering a few lights off the parallel port or recording temperatures etc. But then the footprint of the mobo is no doubt gigantic.
