One's a Zenith Bull with VGA monochrome LCD screen, takes full sized 3 1/2 inch hard drives. Also have a Toshiba T-1000 (I think) with EGA plasma screen. This even takes full sized ISA expansion cards. Both are sitting around gathering dust. Raymond Sirois KU2S SysOp: The Lost Chord BBS 607-733-5745 telnet://thelostchord.dns2go.com:6000 |

It was a fixer-upper, but now runs fine, running XP Pro right now. Only bad cosmetic issue is that it's missing the cover for the battery compartment (been watching ebay for one). |

Current software will not run on any computer before a certain level. Many machines get tossed because of this. If it does not have USB ports and the ability to run 98SE or later, you lose the use of USB peripherals. Drivers for newer deviceswill be an issue as well.

Yes, I understand very well, which is why I was trying to get a feel for what the OP is looking for. I have some Pentium 100s and 150s, which are in a whole different league than 386s and 486s. To me they are all "junk," but perhaps the OP wants to run DOS or Win95, in which case a P100 is perfectly usable. OTOH, maybe he thinks a P3 is "older!"

In a corporate environment, this is all very clear cut. The IS department will say that they will not support any machine below X, and anything older needs to be upgraded. Too bad there is not a legitimate avenue for people or organizations who stop using older software to transfer it to someone new. This would really help a lot of non-profits, who get donated hardware, but have no way to get compatible software. For example, how much would it cost a software maker to stock the latest Win 95 version of their software, perhaps with no expectation of support? People are forced to either pirate old software, or throw away completely functional older machines. The older machines with older software are just as useful as Day 1, even if they do not have the "latest greatest" features. There is a large market of non-profits, volunteer organizations, and families with lesser income who would be thrilled with this.

Even a 10 years old computer will do what most people need to do.
