Posted from an IBM PS/2 Model 70

Post by kevm14 »

Damn right. Posting this from my old-ass PS/2 Model 70 with upgraded Rev-to-486 chip. It also has a webserver but it seems to ruin the TCP stack when it's running. I am posting this via IE3 and Windows 3.11. For all the performance.

So, who's shocked this worked??

I even did a poll because it's hilarious. I could try attaching something...

Typing this on an IBM Model M keyboard and boy is it loud. Love it. The fact that I just pulled this machine off my shelf in the basement and it fired up is amazing. It has many upgrades such as an XGA card and ethernet card.

Is the webserver running again yet?

Let's see if this works. I tried printscreen, dumped it into Paintbrush and to my amazement it actually pasted the screnshot. Didn't realized that would work but I tried anyway. Here's a 256 color bitmap for your enjoyment.

Damn, I can't upload it. Probably the file picker thing doesn't work. Though I tried typing in the direct path of the BMP and that didn't work either. Boo.
