My old 386 computer start up

[2JAMMY]

Fucked that up good - 320 Mega Bytes not Gigs. A pound a meg :):):)

[2JAMMY]

Kin ell dude I remember fitting a co-processor into my 386 trying squeeze a bit more out of it :) Bought a 320 gig HD from WD for 320 pounds - a pound a gig :) Didn't have the luxury of sounds till 486's. Played the original Prince of Persia on my 386 with speaker bleeps but it seems like it was just as fun if not more so than todays stuff. Gotta dig it out & see if it still goes - the 386 that is :):):) all the best dude.

[Denniisboi]

Preety cool, but can it run Battefield 3?

[p4rtn3r]

@Denniisboi No it wouldn't run battlefield 3.

[BloodyGrovyle]

@Denniisboi This baby can run 10 Battlefield 3s at once.

[Knightman963]

@Denniisboi Lol it wouldn't even let me start the game on my computer

[1981z28camaro]

I remember playing Wolfenstein 3D, BIll Elliots NASCAR Challenge, and Jump Jet on my 386, good times :-)

i just remember my first computer, my brother gift to me, was a PC 386 DX 60, hdd 500 Mb, 16 Mb ram, floppy, with DOS, NO WINDOWS... >.<

I add the CD-rom and windows 95... ^3^

My first computer, i still in love with it. <3

[JayandCompany95]

Windows 95 startup sound. LOL

[charger334]

@JayandCompany95 how's that s funny?

[JayandCompany95]

@charger334 just cause it's windows 3.1 with a win95 startup sound. I'm not slamming that or anything. BTW that's a nice 386!!!

[Wavedude21101]

yea, im getting 1 long beep and then 8 short ones. before that it a continouis low beep. but it worth it to get the 386 back :)

[Wavedude21101]

i think i have to buy a new video card for mine and maybe a CMOS battery. not booting right . thought it was the HDD controller , (not so much), we disconnected the controller card and got video. but then we plugged it back and nothing. so after some brainstorming we thought it might even be the video card. most of this has had to be guesswork since this is a noname custom computer. cant find hardly anything about it. relentlessy searched Google and Bing and to hear it may've been biostar.

[JayGOS117]

Lol, we had a 386/DX40.

But i had to learn a little MSDOS as we didn't have windows.

Comes in handy with DOSbox nowadays, who'd have thunk it^^

[sbykslayne]

They may be old in modern view point. But they did there job far-better than most modern day PC's.

I do miss the older-technology in PCs.

I play about with an old 8086, and Old Compaq Laptop. But, not for a while.

Might make a video myself of it.

[p4rtn3r]

@sbykslayne. I've got agree I never had any problems with it even the old NiCd battery for the cmos still holds a charge.

I would like to see your old computer and laptop when you get time to do a video.

If your into older computers look up phreakindee channel he's got lots of old Computers & Games systems.

[Wavedude21101]

@p4rtn3r yes i too agree . windows 3.1 was so straight forward and never tried to hassle you. also it was not afraid to tell it problems if it had any, plus they were fast at what did and did it efficiently

[SonicAnimator1]

Do you have a original monitor of that computer?

[p4rtn3r]

@SonicAnimator1 Yes I have got the original ICL CRT monitor which still works but some of the buttons on the front have stopped working.

[SonicAnimator1]

@p4rtn3r Make a video of it sometime :)

[p4rtn3r]

@SonicAnimator1 I will when I get down from the loft again.

[SonicAnimator1]

@p4rtn3r Ok, I subscribed and im waiting for that video ;)

[WindowsLover6767]

You run Windows 3.10 on it, just like me on my toshiba t4600! :)

[pcorf]

Windows 3.1 haha, its 1993 revisited

[fennectech]

that takes less time than windows 7 to boot

[p4rtn3r]

@fennectech.It's faster than XP aswell. But think of all the software moderm machines have to load compared to older machines. The date on the 386 is 1991 so it's doing well for it's age.

[fennectech]

@p4rtn3r of course faster than xp but u COULD run xp if it was a 486

[JEIWILBER]

Holy CRap I Have a 386 !

This is My Childhood !

[MarioJuniorBR]

Lol, the "winchester" sound like KKKRKKEKREKEPPKEKRKEKREKPPP :D

[Gielinorian]

LOL! Even with that huge ass power button you STILL MISSED IT!

[p4rtn3r]

@Gielinorian Yeah i know but i was looking through the camera when i switched it on.

[141981]

Great!!

What a nostalgic computer.

[the747videoer]

Windows 95 startup sound? How?

[p4rtn3r]

@the747videoer. I had an old laptop with Windows 95 on so I copied some of the sound files from it.

[drbejarjj]

nice!

[MixerVM]

LOL that power button is HUGE!

[MrPhillpower]

No way my second pc was a 386 ICL, nearly the same case as that, runnin win 3.1. I was well jealous of my mates 486 DX2 66. Still beat the shit box i had before cant remember much about it but you had to boot the os off 2 x 5.5" floppys. Then it didnt do anythin. How times have changed!!

[p4rtn3r]

@MrPhillpower I had a 486 SX 25Mhz. But for some reason it quit working so it went in the bin but not before i took the power supply, HDD and anything else that was useful out of it. I agree with how time has changed. If you like old style computers check out channel name phreakindee. he's got older computers some of which boot from floppys and good old dos games.

[iTeaze888]

used to love that kerrazy KRREEGGGGDDPEEEP sound it made when it started up..

Degausing the monitor was fun to. good ol' days of shareware and doom!!
