New old computers //at 23:41 //by abe
My employer cleared out old hardware this week and besides saving an old Compaq laptop docking-station from the junkyard (will bring it together with a second one to the flea market of the next Vintage Computer Festival Europe in Munich), I got a bunch of old PCs (about 5 or so), starting with an old 486 DX 33, which was our firewall when I came into the company, ranging to my old workstation (without processor), which was thrown out after two harddisks left there life in there with a offset of only four months. Unfortunately three further gigahertz ranged mini desktops were not working anymore…
But the optical highlight was an Unisys Aquanta CP mini desktop (picture) with a passively cooled 200 MHz Pentium MMX,
which I now call tryane. This
nice monitor post probably becomes my new Sarge based gateway and
firewall since the old Woody based one, called azu needs
more space and current and had some ext3 filesystem problems which looked
like setting it up from scratch wouldn’t be the baddest idea.
