Gday Gemini Community
Bit off topic from Gemini
I came across this gem for the people still
using old 16/32bit DOS based vintage computers
ngIRCd - IRC Server - DOS 16-bit port for 8088 or better PC's
https://github.com/mikechambers84/ngIRCd-DOS
Honestly I would be amazed if any RLL/MFM or IDE drive
still works from 1985-1995-2000ish era
For anyone wanting to go back to old Intel
without IME, DRM and the Cloud ( pre 915 chipset)
You could build a PC using Aliexpress
- USD$17.43 - Intel LGA775 CPU x5460
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32736327257.html?
- 775 mobo atx/matx - $25-55
https://www.aliexpress.com/af/775-motherboard.html?
- PSU - $45
- CDROM (SATA) - $25
- HDD (SATA) - $45
- Low end PCI video card $25-45 (older probly better)
- Case $25-45
- Old VGA LCD - free - $25
You might be able to get an PCI 32bit stuff off ebay/ali/2nd hand market , cross fingers onboard sound/lan still works in 2020-2025
I went thou several systems before x85 ,
Atar2600
Amstrad CPC664
Amiga 500
Custom Built XT (1997) even using old
stuff like 3DFX/Cytrix and 486's that had an SX 486 processor and a 386 maths copro
In SHTF would we really be depanding on
this stuff in grid down situation ?
Also its possible to do ethernet over barb wire
All the best
