I might have a cyrix 5x86 somewhere

haha cool, yeah i think those a bit rarer than the intel/amd chips. i've got a cyrix Cx486 DX33 chip sittin right here. it's got some bent pins on it, but it looks to be fixable without breaking them off.

I have a whole bunch of Socket 7 / Super Socket 7 AT mainboards with Cyrix processors that I saved from the skip at work. Not as interesting as a 5x86 though :D From what I read, the Cyrix 5x86 gives the same performance as a Pentium 75.

Right at this moment, ONE!

All my other stuff is packed up and in storage awaiting the day I finally find a place to download, er, move it to!

Just my poor lonely Dell laptop and me...

(Mad's Update"

Since it's been awhile, and the lineup has changed, here's my workin' machines....

[New Stuff]
Everex NC1500 Laptop - New Main Laptop
the Omnipresent GEM PIII - PIII in a heavily modified full size AT mid-80's chassis
Flight 386 SX - Really an AMD K-6 in disguise, The original one of my collection

[Old Stuff]
IBM Thinkpad 755CD - Backup Laptop
CAT Computers 486 DX/4-100 - Hot-Rodded 486, I always have to have one of these around
GEM 286/10 - Overclocked to 12 MHz, It's the ultimate AT clone
IBM XT in a Clone Case - The infamous 1.44MB Dual Floppy machine

[Almost Working]
IBM Thinkpad I-Series 1400 - Backup screen is bad, but somewhat useable, otherwise, it runs fine, and acts as a backup/file server on my LAN once in awhile.

I guess I'll start with the one I'm on right now, which I might add is the most modern I possess that is functional:

CyrixInstead 6x86MX (That's according to the system properties) It's slow as molasses in January. Got it at a thrift shop for nothing.

Pulse 486 (I believe) Sadly the cmos batt recently died.
NCC 486
Commodore 64 (breadbox)
Commodore 128
Commodore Vic-20 (x2) both the original gold/brown tagged models.
Commodore C16 (has issues)
Commodore Plus/4 (x2) Not really functional on account of mostly gibberish being returned to the screen. The second one won't even boot.
Atari 800
Tandy Color Computer 1
Tandy Color Computer 2
Tandy Color Computer 3
Apple ][e (First version)
Apple //c
Apple Macintosh SE/30
Apple Macintosh SE (seems to work fine but I have no software for it)
Apple Macintosh Classic and Classic II (both of which sadly only boot up with scrambled images)
Apple Power Macintosh 6100/60AV (sounds like it functions but I can't get an image on either of the monitors I have for it. Might be a bad video card)
TI99/4a (complete with PEB)
Mattel Aquarius (x2)
Sega 3000

Consoles:
Atari 2600 (x3) A heavy sixer, light sixer and a "darth vader".
Sears Video Arcade II (later Sears version of the Atari 2600)
Atari 5200
Atari 7800
Intellivision (x3) An original "gold and brown" model, Intellivision II and an INTV System III
Colecovision
Bally Home Library Computer (The original version of the Bally Astrocade) Complete with the original 300 baud data transfer unit)
Fairchild Channel F II
APF MP1000
Odyssey2
Sega Master System
Sega Genesis (x3) (with Sega CD unit and 32X which I desperately need cables for)
Sega Dreamcast
Nintendo NES (x3)
Nintendo SNES
PS/1

The Dreamcast and the PS/1 will never be used to their full potential since I can not play 3-D intensive games without suffering intense motion sickness. (One of the lovely "benefits" of getting old I guess)

I'm always on the hunt to acquire more even though I can barely fit any more in the small house in which I live.
Also have an AT&T PC6300 that I really wish I could get to function properly so I could play all of those great PC BOOTER games.

I also have two AST Premium Exec 386SX/20 and an AST Advantage Explorer 486SX/25 laptops that are all lacking the A/C adapters and the batteries have long lost their charges. I would love to get the adapters from somewhere and finally get to see if any of these work.

Just added this to my collection 2 days ago. An Amstrad PPC 640. Didn't have the power adaptor, but my Laptop grade iGo powers it with no problem. Here its pictured with my HP 95lx and my Game Boy Micro just to show how far we've come. The PPC work all the way, though its definately a "five footer". It looks pretty good from five feet away, but up close, you can tell its had quite a life.I set this thing up with Windows version 1.01,which works great on a duel floppy system like this. I need to find a mouse though.

I posted a few of these in the 'introductions' thread recently (I just joined the forum), but this is a complete list, in chronological order:

• Gateway Handbook 486 laptop PC (bought new 1994)
• Monorail P133 all-in-one PC (bought new 1997)
• NEC Ready 340t laptop PC (bought new 1999)
• PowerMac 7200 desktop PC
• Toshiba Libretto 70CT laptop PC (running MacOS 7) Edit: rather, MacOS 7 *in* Windows 98
• Fujitsu Lifebook 735Dx laptop PC
• eMachines W2047 desktop PC (bought new 2003)
• Compaq LTE5300 laptop PC
• IBM ThinkPad T20 laptop PC
• eMachines M2350 laptop PC (bought new 2004)
• VTech Laser Compumate2 notebook word processor
• Tandy WP-2 notebook word processor
• Tandy 102 notebook microcomputer
• Palm Pilot M100 PDA
• Amstrad NC100 notebook microcomputer
• Tandy 1500HD laptop PC
• Amstrad NC200 laptop microcomputer
• IBM ThinkPad X20 laptop PC
• Tandy 200 notebook microcomputer

I have a TRS-80 DVI that's missing a connector cable and both floppy drives.

The Mac and the Monorail are in the garage, the rest of them are within arm's reach. It's a pretty messy office.

apples update

apples update

Just received a new apple II plus and a enhanced IIe. I've been running dos on both of them, and it's all good.

Hmm, I can't recall every system I have right this instant, would have to inventory. My guess is about 50 working and 50 non working (aka missing parts) Give or take, less than the 250 I had about 6yrs ago but still pretty close, just less are complete now and many don't have a working monitor either.

My collection isnt very large yet but im working on it...

A PII 450mhz Compaq
Compaq Proliant 6500 with 1gb ram and duel PIII 500 mhz Xeon's

AST powerexec 425/sl
Tandy 2500 SX/20

And it seems, so was the "furry".
Perhaps the word you were looking for was "fury"?

Also, please use punctuation. It's hard to parse your post

Hey, I read typo so well now I didn't really notice that it said "furry". Always read it a "fury" anyway.

Here is 800 MHz of furry: http://www.mini-itx.com/projects/teddybear/

is there any way to alter my name?

PM or Email Erik, he's the administrator and owner of our collective mess. He'll fix it for you.

hey, got another laptop last week on eBay. a HP Pavilion. I can run a few programs on it, but not as much as i would like. It's not exactly what i would consider vintage though.
