MS-DOS computer

Here's an old MS-DOS computer for you.

Slow as hell to boot up, has all the original floppies. Computer is a zenith.

complete with RS-232 serial port, serial-style monitor port, and a parallel port on the back. Processor is an Intel 8088.

I boot it up and run a directory listing on the floppy disk. very hard to read the screen, and i adjust the contrast after running the directory command. If anyone is interested in other videos of servers, old as/400 mainframes, microcomputers, unix system v machines or my modern 5 computer mosix cluster, pm or leave a comment.

I reckon the notebook keyboards back in those days are much better than what we have now, they just make you feel better for some reasons.

The keyboard was in the style of an old spring loaded keyboard, reminiscent of old IBM OS/360 Twinax terminal keyboards. I love this keyboard more so than the keyboard on my gateway laptop now, mainly because you know when you're typing on it since it sits so high above the rest of the computer.

Not really that slow of a boot up, especially on a floppy.

Is that a Zenith computer, or Leading Edge? (Looks like the old Leading Edge computer I have, 16MHz, somewhere around 2MB of RAM... 1993, it was about $2000-3000)

The logo looks like Zenith... case looks like Leading Edge.

I ran Crisis 2 and 14 other games at once all at Max settings at once on that and I still got 180FPS on all of them.
