The Ultimate DOS Machine

[fox270988]

srhsrhsr I have a 166 Mhz MMX

1Mb video card

3Gb HD

16 RAM

=^,^= brief video

[faithless8888]

i used to have the same computer only mine had Windows 95 on it

[bnbjones29]

Ultimate DOS machine? Not quite sure about that, but a good showing of some "Golden Age" DOS software! Sadly all of my computers slow enough to run all of the archaic games have long since died... MY Ultimate DOS box is a Pentium 75 running Windows 95 (which, contary to popular belief, is just a fancy GUI running on top of DOS 7). One of these days I may have to install one of my 5.25" floppy drives in the frame and break out my video cam. to record some classic games!

[jacklabite]

quite stupid , honestly you must be pretty young to have that. show us some ibm XT and then we can talk serious sh**.

[charger334]

@jacklabite HAHA lmfao XD silly troll! please go kill yourself

[tjinga2u1]

A floppy disc drive! where did you find that interesting fossil? :3

[MithrasNL]

this pc cant even run Grand theft auto 1 or diablo1.. whaha.. lol

[dmytrocool]

how did you create that DOS pleas tell me

[JEpton73]

yea but it's only an sx, you need a dx

[kworkman31]

to cool!

[WindowsLover6767]

Wow, that is a MONSTER!!! ;)

[TehVulpes]

You know... I've got a pretty sweet gaming rig in a case that's from 1999... It's still got the Pentium stickers on there, underneath the new AMD stickers lol...

And not to mention my keyboard from 2003, but besides that everything else is nice and new.

[Xy1une]

So much beige lol

[TrilbyArts]

i would love to put a gaming rig in this case >_<...and dule boot windows 7 and dos

[AngelOrsato]

Man, I grow with one of this.... 1993, 386DLC 40Mhz

[DisDwarf]

Your video makes me horny, hell yeah! :P

[rovercrew]

A Crapard Hell motherboard? are you shitting me? their hardware was complete rubbish back in the day!

[Szederp]

Gay music and not an "ultimate" dos PC. Primitive guys like you think that having an old sb16 for soundcard is the sky. You suck.

[thelyniezian]

Oh no... it's B:...

[thelyniezian]

Hang on... the 5.25" drive is mapped to D: so presumably must be three floppies... or am I wrong there?

[thelyniezian]

Is that actually two 3.5" floppies or is one of them a ZIP drive? I didn't think it was possible to have more than two floppy drives (including the 5.25" drive)?

[SonicRunner1000]

@thelyniezian Another floppy isn't real! If you watched the part 1:15 where he insert diskette to 5.25" drive, and then watched what he typed to DOS 1:28 , He typed: "B:\", what means he's 5.25" drive is B:\ and floppy drive is A:\. Third drive is just plastic fake floppy. If you watched the computer's startup, fake floppy drive's indicator light doesn't light up. 2:10

[blueplanet64]

Is that a Packard Bell Hillary motherboard in that machine? My Packard Bell Legend 406CD with it's Hillary mobo has that POST screen

[dervoxful27]

como no olvidar el boton y el sonidito de turbo ;)

[sur13amgi]

yo tengo una IBM 1985 DE LAS PRIMERAR COMPUTADORAS PERSONALES LA CONFIGURE Y LE PUSE EL WINDOWS 7

[zero00tolerance]

Thanks for sharing this man !

really appreciate it ... this show how far our computer technology has come along..amazing the things we have today.

Cheers ! to Technology 

[Dante396]

i had one of those with a cd reader installed, it was a beast !!

[159tony]

foolish mortal

[Metro4151]

is there pac-man for dos? cuz that would be cool

[TobiasTheebe]

@Metro4151 Yes, it's called PacPC.

[segin2005]

No, the "Turbo" button was meant as a way to quickly downclock the CPU for older DOS software (especially games) that ran too fast on the "turbo" (native) speed of the CPU. There are early DOS games that only work at normal speed if played on a 8086 CPU running at 4.77MHz - anything else and they'd run too fast.

[matthew65536]

The reason i asked when you typed the dir command i saw a windows directory

[matthew65536]

What windows os does it have?

[666Makkura666]

@matthew65536 Dude.. DOS!

[TheIcecreambangbang]

@666Makkura666 Microsoft Ms Dos 6.22

[DGMRuadeil]

Only real original IBM machines can be considered ultimate DOS machines.. simply because they're the originals :P

[LectronCircuits]

Totally awesome. Now all you need to do is train a pig to operate this machine. Then you would have Hog & DOS. Cheers!

[VikutaaChyaaruzu]

@LectronCircuits

You know what? Pigs indeed are intelligent animals. Sir Paul McCartney noted in his Glass Walls documentary that pigs are particularly great at playing video games -- provided they're not put in filthy factory farms.

[static1994]

Is the machine compatible with ZIP diske? If so, why ot install a drive for it?

[TheChipmunk2008]

Yeghods what the f*** is that noise it's making

[computergeekguy]

what is the turbo

[0rth0doX]

@computergeekguy turbo mode converts it to modern processing power like i7

[static1994]

@computergeekguy The turbo holds no special function. If it wasnt there The computer would go as fast as possile, or its usual reaction when the button is pressed.

If the button is NOT pressed however, IT FORCES THE MACHINE TO WORK SLOWER!!

The turbo button was a piece of crap.

[volodyanarchist]

@static1994 The turbo button was to conserve electricity, so basically it's the technology used on some notebooks and netbooks right now. There's nothing new, just well forgotten past.

[static1994]

@volodyanarchist Oh... that explains alot...It seems to be standard these days in the "power options" menu though, rather software than hardware... They put the turbo button on netbooks?

Is it an actual button or a setting on the computer?

[gp4nut]

2 3.5"? dude ur hardcore!

[volodyanarchist]

@gp4nut You can see that its only one installed, the other one is the cover.

[bpmagruder]

This is a Packard Bell, but I can't see the model number.

[MsAvedis]

Which version of windows is installed?

[SouthNJPC]

Will it run Crysis?

[CodeOrDie]

Thank you Youtube for the mute mode.

[Dweller777]

Okay so.. did this *have* to be a music video?

[trasmethrash]

when i saw this mi pc was so modern ever since xD

[cannibalsausage]

I am sorry, but the quality of this video is inferior, and this is not even close to an ultimate DOS machine.

[Alex3D666]

Man i still have that game hehe nice vid, and what happend with the great Turbo button?!

[epicKiipa]

Oh the turbo button. Good times.

[K1llerEel]

@epicKiipa my turbo button button does nothing lol

[GAKtion64]

@epicKiipa the turbo button did nothing for me. just display some lights showing what faster clock speed it was going at but didn't actually change anything but the lights.

do you know a way to set it up though?

[WinVistaUser2]

@GAKtion64 The Turbo button makes the system go fast or slow. My old 486 machine has a turbo button; whenever I push the button to make it go slow, it slows down to 16MHz, with the button pressed in, it goes to 120MHz. Without it hooked up, it still goes fast at 120MHz. I set my display to display 138 with the turbo button pressed in, and 1JG without the button pressed in. I messed around with the jumper settings on the board.

[tradash666]

press turbo button and play with crysis 2 :D

[u3of52]

I had one just about like this and played games that (supposedly) required a Pent-1. 1-5-1/4 drive, 2-1.44m drives, 2-HDs, Sound-Blaster card, ?Video-Card (I forget) 486-DX4-100 cpu, extra-memory, and can't remember what brand / model motherboard. I think it might still have it, or some of it. lol

Nice old machine! :)

[TheGeekishGuy]

I don't know why, but I want one...

[thedeadmansradio]

@renatomaster9k Innervision by System Of A Down..

[DamageIncM]

Oh man, I miss those old blocky games!

I tried BF3 recently and was so bored after a while.

Those old games rarely got old. ^_^

[brabon1]

i used to work on computers like that..

when being a techie was a total nightmare

[wwwertdf]

mute the gay music

[DukeNukem2020]

no ZIP drive? And another thing, what's with the shitty music. You chose the worst band ever.

[croEdHunter]

Killer rig bro

[SimpleKindOfMan604]

@croEdHunter Yeah man, I had the same tower case for my first ever AT-compatible computer, but it wasn't quite as decked out as that one. Only had one floppy and no CD-ROM. My turbo button wasn't missing and was fully functional though :)

Ahh, the days of 386es with separate floating point co-processors, oh and fast-page SIMM RAM... Those were the days.

[TrendSonic9800GT]

i hate the screen...

[Flexasaurus1]

dat turbo button

[bpmagruder]

@renat0urban0 Innervision by System of a Down

[destrierofdark]

@bpmagruder What's the name.. Wait, already in first comment? Thank you.

[destrierofdark]

@bpmagruder What's the name of.. Already in first comment? Thank you.

[bpmagruder]

What original pc was this

[codmad1000]

THAT........……IS……………EPIC

[KingDT2007]

probably works better than vista

[rikguitar1]

@KingDT2007 indeed DOS is ftw

[SonicAnimator1]

@KingDT2007 Prove it

[kurisux]

mmm, that is one sexy machine. :)

[3Deity]

Ultimate? Does it have Vesa local bus? Gravis Ultrasound? Co-processor? SCSI drives that need two men to lift? and a walk-in power supply? I think not! :o)

[kurisux]

@3Deity Walk in power supply? I can only imagine what would happen if someone touched the wrong section of a capacitor bank...

There would be nothing left of the poor sap. :D

Seriously though, that really did make my day, reading that. Bravo sir. :D

[3Deity]

@kurisux LOL - Really, it was pretty whacky what we did all those years ago! That said, IBM announced the other week that the PC is dead. I also found my old IBM PC and XTs in the loft so maybe I should do a video?!

[kurisux]

@3Deity I say go for it. :D

[RetroPCDOS]

@3Deity

"Gravis Ultrasound", would love to find one of those, for collection, but not good for games due to not compatible with the card, you had to emulate a Sound Blaster using the "SBOS" software included with the GUS.

[3Deity]

@RetroPCDOS Damn, you're right - I'd forgotten that! :o) I also remember the drivers being >MASSIVE!<, I found them online recently and they where tiny. I liked one of the module files that came with it - it plays perfectly in software now.

[doarner]

@3Deity Dammit grandpa, you know there's TV in color, right?

[tuxcup]

have an 32-bit PC to install DOS.my 7 PC that is 32-bit .

[didogazeto]

install Windows 7

[jros83]

i bet there are a lot of kids who saw that 5.25 drive and thought "what the hell is that?" I bet theres even some people who didn't even recognize the 3.5 drive...

[tev866]

awesome

[claicers]

can install windows 7 ultimate 64 bit?

[MsHUGSaLOT]

welcome to 1990!

[didogazeto]

@MsHUGSaLOT 1984 dude.......

[PoopSlime]

You'll wanna engage in some sodomy after seeing this video...

(248) 442-9849

just one of those videos where old computers bring back fond sexual memories of those who had high testosterone when playing DOS games.

[alex1994iscool]

its alive its powerfull its even more powerfull than the PCs from now i bet that it can run windows 3.1

[sociogenetics]

Straight outta the Millennium Falcon.

[lukebccb]

What was the point of this video?



[zmamedotcom]

Can it play Crysis?

[rhymenorreasonable]

Spes?

[didy2913]

lllllllllllllllllllllloooooooo­oooooooooooooollllllllllllllll­lllllllllllllll



[Wesker346]

System of a Down - Innervension

[Hatterific]

turbo powa!

[KainDelpher]

OH GOD NO!

PACKARD BELL!!!!!

RUN FOR YOU'RE LIVES, HIDE YOU'RE GOOD PC'S!

[helipro555]

@KainDelpher ROFL! thumbs up for you!

[backfire357]

i bet you it could play some mad C&C over the modem. if only for teh lolz.

[TommyDDoom]

hmm good monitor 50hz my eyes in real now blind

[sanderrodijk]

will make a video of my ultimate dos machine :)

pentium 1 200 mhz 128mb dos 6.60 and windows 98.2 dvd drive, floppy and disc drive. and a ati 7000 vga

[bubbleheadft]

This guy can run Wolfenstein at Maximum settings!

[Trevokable]

Amy's First Primer was awesome. I remember when I about 5 in 1995 my mom bought some 3.5" floppy disks with shareware games on them. We had an IBM 286.

[xeotech1]

Where is Doom....

[speedyeggbert2009]

what the name of the computer?

[canuckaholic91]

ITS GOT A FUCKIN TURBO BUTTON LOL

[73SDR]

@canuckaholic91 Almost all "clone" computers had turbo buttons!

[Sepulcr0]

I've had a case just like yours back in the day...

[Loxleiev]

that cooler is waay to big, i have an original cooler from an ancient pc =P i even got RAM, i think they are 4mb each, the small and fatty ones, DK what they are though)dimm ddr etc, i dont know the older names for them)i even have a computer with a key, that cuts electrical power of osmething, it wont turn on if its "locked" LOL

[kucheeky]

Can this run Ubuntu linux?

[geo58impala]

nice retro pc

[bpmagruder]

What kind of computer is this? (brand)

[zapper067]

Give it a life,man,install windows 7 on it.

[Farie977]

That's A Big Ass Floppy Disk

[an65001]

Can this run Windows 95?

[SonicAnimator1]

@an65001 It can

[queensplazasouth]

windows sucked before win2k/xp

[maxcellsteel]

please install linux!

[cellyboy3000]

but will it blend

[songsforeveryone]

It's so cool PC chassis

[notepass]

My PC can both:

Run Cryses and DOS !! (Yes i know... its Epic)

[thebigbread42]

i had a computer just like that! and i also have a copy of amys first primer..

[YTMrVulcan]

Personally, I would have preferred you using a mic, as opposed to this terrible music.

[LerenDownloaden]

@YTMrVulcan I must agree, the 'music' sounds like someone is having anal intercourse with a cat.

[theunrealbro4939]

but can it play crysis?

[scsd06273]

what's the "turbo" on the front for because that needs all the turbo it can get

[Renatodonadio]

@scsd06273 In the "pre-Pentium" era that button doubled the CPU speed for running DOS-based heavy programs or games (sort of legit overclocking) but it went useless with pentiums

[er10b]

@Renatodonadio not with my old pentium monster - that turbo button would cut power to the CPU.

[xargos]

@Renatodonadio No, Turbo wasn't "legit overclocking." The turbo button ran the CPU at the rated speed, and turning it off reduced the speed for compatibility with older programs.  I remember it very, very well.

[freshofftheufo]

your monitor isn't beige enough

[Dakkiller1]

If I get an old DOS machine, I'll use it for the following

Playing old titles for DOS and Windows 95, and testing any programs I develop or help develop to get accurate system requirements for any program or game.

[PIKACHU49386]

I was hoping you'd play DooM :P

[TheSpongion]

the ultimate dos machine would be a machine that is compatible with all dos software yet still runs it as fast as possible, so i'm thinking more at the direction of a 233MHZ/266MHZ Pentium 1 MMX with as much as possible of RAM/HDD, 2 sound cards: 16bit and 32bit + good VGA card and a PCI Voodoo 3 accelerator.

[MegaFade2black]

But can it blend ?

[FallenPaladin85]

Cutting edge technology.

[BrownyTCat]

I use mine still

[vincentlm77]

+10 for the music

+10 for that holy crap fucking old floppy disk omg

+10 LOL froggy

[er10b]

@vincentlm77 that floppy disk was a 5.25" disk and it lived up to its name.

[JosephGoebbelz]

You're such a pro at Froggy. =O

[thevidiodude177]

LOL System of a Down

[MasterPiMp420]

LOL i remember the turbo button!

[MasterPiMp420]

@MasterPiMp420 oh yeah and the key locks!!

[OBluePrint]

Very cool. Looks properly jerry-rigged, too.

Would be nice if you had specs in the info.

I have a few old rigs myself, from a PII 450 down to a 20Mhz 286 of 1MB RAM and 40MB HD, but I'm most proud of the 40Mhz AMD 386DX with 8MB EDO RAM and SoundBlaster 2.0 (and full range of drives, of course).

[TheEgg185]

thumbs down for the music

[MaximusRelaximus]

wow, you kick ass at that frog maze game!

[ox141jf]

now put 7 oon it



[CHOOBFILMS]

hmmm wonder if it can play dvds... lol

[ken0176]

wat kind of pc is it i have a 386 :D only 16mhz lol and i have only 4mb of ram a 1 mb ati card 60mb hdd :D i can run wolf3d and alot of other awsomeness :D

[Goalatio]

Wonder if it could run my OS? (Which just happens to be called DOS, too)..

The only hardware intensive parts are the game engine, and possible drawing menus..

if you're interested, I'll send you my code + binaries to write to a boot floppy.

[taitaisanchez]

AWE32? Why not a GUS?

[Ms4dmin]

didn't know you could program dish washers

[metronome13]

something about the sound of machines being turned on all you heard was the hard drive and maybe the power supply fan, instead of these wind tunnels now a days, sigh memories :)

[ZinkDude]

Yeah, but this is a 386 SX - the 386DX was much better...

[cy012201]

TTTTTTUUUUUURRRRRBBBBBBOOOOOO!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrGameboy1989]

captain we need to go faster, press the turbo button

[007agent0007]

This is a joke

Can it run Windows 7 ? #LOL

Windows 7 requires at least 512MB RAM, 1GHZ CPU, 16GB HDD, 128MB graphics or better...

You have 8GB DDR3 RAM @ 1200MHz, 3GHz Quad Core CPU, 1000GB HDD and 512MB graphics .... :D #LOL

[hantechbl]

My High school has this machine, Not sure what they use it for.

[NTL1991]

Wow. That case brings back LOTS of memories. Didn't everyone and their mother have these cases? I had a 486 system that used that very same case. Who manufactured it?

[RibNSpicY]

I want that frog game...Does it come on CDROM as i dont have a floppy and what are the minmum system requirements just to make sure i can run it!? ;)

[mmx1995FTW]

but can it run crysis?

[jeremysart]

I'll post a video response when I finish building mine. I just scored an excellent desktop case from the late 80's. The machine has high and low density 5.25's, a 3.5, and a DVD-ROM drive. Runs 120mhz, 10 gig hd, the hard drive is partitioned and has DOS 6.22, Windows 3.1, and Windows 95.

This is a nice machine, has me pumped up to get mine finished. DOS days!

[beauner99]

Why is there annoying music in this video....

[supereliptic]

U have a 5.5" floppy AND A TURBO BUTTON!!!!!!!!! the nostalgia is unreal on this video!

[autonomous2010]

Holy SHITZLES.

Is that a turbo display??!!? O.o

Haven't seen one of those in YEARS.

[GrigorievMichael]

kamakaze.com.... good old one....

[davejoshmom1]

can you run windows 95 or 98?

[IIDMII]

Hit the Turbo button! lol

[GrigorievMichael]

Turbo button is ripped off! You probably get a HYPER speed!

[TheCraftingMiner]

ok..so its cool..but will it blend?

[tazerboy999]

That frog is a badass

[retronuggetdev]

Ooh nice. How did you manage to get 3 floppy drives installed? Has one been mapped to d: or e:?

[Druaga1]

@retronuggetdev There are only two, actually. One is a piece of plastic.

[retronuggetdev]

@Druaga1 Ooh. That would make more sense.

[deadguy718]

@Druaga1 lol

[Ratznium]

@Druaga1

Not a laser servo floppy drive.

And you call this an ultimate DOS machine? Puh!
