Have you ever wondered if you can run Microsoft 3D Movie Maker on the Hand386?

You can. It's not fast, but it runs.

@foone I was gonna ask why you have one of these things, but then I realized you're you.

I got 3 cheap Toshiba Satellite laptops at the electronics flea market this weekend.

This one... well, it boots more than the first one, but I'm not sure I'd call it usable.

I got this computer a couple of months ago but it never worked and I was too lazy to open it (I thought I needed to remove all the screws and covers), rarely booted completely. The ram was not correctly installed lol

part of the horror of working with old SBCs is finding out exactly what they mean by "we've got official linux support!"

TRUSTY TAHR?! YOU WANT ME TO USE UBUNTU 14.04?

ozzelot,
@ozzelot@mstdn.social avatar

@foone That's worse than Ubuntu Touch. Quite the achievement.
But then again, that tahr is really trusty.

I don't remember why but I have 4 of these vacuum relays apparently rated 3kV 10A

a small glass and metal cylinder with terminals up on the glass where an armature in the glass closes contacts and terminals on the bottom too

When I was a kid, I downloaded this game onto a 3410 that is no longer in my possession. So I found it on the internet, patched it into another 3410, and boy, no wonder it's just in the back of my mind and I never finished it. It controls like hot garbage and also has no sound. And also controls like hot garbage.
