From left to right:

Socket7/SS 7 system with an AMDK6-2 400 with 256megs of ram and 10 gig hddwith USB 2.0 availability via a 4 pci usb card running Debian Jessie.
XT Turbo with XT-IDE hdd card BigFoot hdd and TVM EGA crt.. Has MS Dos6.x on it but I've set it up to boot directly in to GeoWorks Pro 1.2.Both fdd are high capacity (ie-1.44mg and 1.2meg.)

Zenith 286LP Plus. 286/12, onboard 256 vga hooked up to a NEC/Packard Bell 17"LCD monitor. Has external LS120 and external BackPack x8 CDRom drive.Has MS Doss 5 and it runs MS Windows 3.1x in Standard Mode just fine.It's just a smiggen slower than my old 286/16 clone system.Two

486s.

The bottom one is an ACER/Across. It says it has a 486DX2/50 inside when it is in fact an AMD486DX2/66 that I've set to 40MHz soe ffectively a 486DX2/80. Runs very stable. At the moment it has MS Dos6.22, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, DesqVeiwX and various version of PCGeos from Pro 1.2 up to Breadbox Ensemble 4.1.2. It mainly stays in Dos/PCGeos. It has 32megs of ram, put in by the previous owner and just over 400meg hdd.

The top is a 486DX2/50 and was a Windows for Workgroups 3.11 server at some time back in the day. Has 8megs of ram, 500ish half height 5.25" hdd with a hdd controller with 30 pin simms on it for caching purposes and 1meg video card.

And last but not least an AMIGA A600 below the 486s with 2megs of ram with two external fdds hook up , so three fdds all up. It is hooked up to a SANYO LCD TV via AV cables and has no flicker what so ever when displaying the AmigaOS 2.1 desk top. I bought AmigaOS 2.5 disks and manuals, 2.5" hdd with cable already to be installed.

All have nics , apart from the A600, are networked and have internet access. Either via a switch/hub or direct to the ISP supplied modem/router thingy. All hdds are spinning rust type and have given me no problems. Have done for years. All systems function as they should when powered up.

I have a few other systems including some Acorn Risc Machines. I'll post pics of those at another time.
 
Nice collection @Caluser2000. I have some similar items in my collection. I don't think I'm allowed to post pictures or links yet since I am new here. Maybe I can?

Anyway, I have an IBM XT-286 running PC-DOS 3.3 with a VGA White (mono - no color) and I keep it running only DOS and the typical office software I ran on it back in the mid-80's. WordStar, R-base, First Choice, etc.

I also have an 80286/12 running DR-DOS 7 and Norton Commander and GEM. With Artline, WordStar, AlphaFour and ProComm.

Just finished refurbishing my old AST Premium 486/33 that was my first 486 class machine. Back then I only used DOS but I turned it into a DOS 5/Win 3.1 setup. The sound card is an IBM Wave and it only works in Windows 3.1.

I have another 486DX2/66 that was given to me by my parents when they upgraded and it has DOS 5.0, WfW 3.11, Win95 and OS/2 1.1 on it using System Commander to multi-boot.

I recently finished putting FreeDOS on another 486DX2/66. I have it stationed with my 286/12 that runs DR-DOS. They share a CRT and keyboard with a KV manual switch.

I had some AMD K6-2 processors but I did not know anything about them when I got rid of them. I only knew about Intel and Zilog and when I was weeding stuff out I sacrificed several K6-2's. That was before I started collecting and I needed room. I shouldn't have tossed them but I didn't know what I know now.

I also have several more Pre-Pentium class systems and many Pentium, P-II, P-III, and P-4 systems, most running Linux.

I've always wanted an Amiga but so far I have not got one. I'm also interested in aquiring some Silicon Graphics stuff and a Commodore PET.
