@gmc It's a pentium mmx. It was a computer that I bought for work at CA. You had to pay upfront for it (around £4500 iirc) but they then paid you back over 12 months and when / if you left the company the computer was yours to keep. It had to be as high a spec as possible as I used it for demonstrating Ingres, Jasmine (an OODB) and Opal (a legacy screenscraper and application modernisation tool).

Amazingly all the hardware seems functional - it's probably not been booted in more than a decade. CD drive is whirring away happily and even the floppy drive seems OK.

This morning's fun is attempting to install FreeDOS onto my ancient Toshiba Tecra 530CDT. It has (for the time - 1997) a massive 164Mb RAM and a 6Gb disk, so it should work nicely ... #RetroComputing
