Retro System 1: 486DX2 / 66MHz Vesa Local, 32 MB , 800MB

http://www.AmoRetro.de Please scroll down for the english description.

DEUTSCHE VERSION:

In diesem Video möchte ich euch mein schönes Mini-Towersystem vorstellen. In ihm werkelt ein 66MHz schneller 486 DX2 Prozessor, der es sich auf einem Vesa Local Bus Motherboard gemütlich gemacht hat. Das System hat 32MB Arbeitsspeicher in 8 Simm-Modulen, eine 800MB Quantum Platte, 4x CD-Rom Laufwerk, 3,5" Floppy, eine Cirrus Logic Vesa Local Grafikkarte mit 2MB und eine Sound Blaster 16 Soundkarte mit Wavetableaufsatz von Terratec. Mit dem System spiele ich gerne meine momentanen Lieblingsspiele TIE-Fighter, Epic Pinball und Silverball und Z.

Ich bin gerade dabei, jedes einzelne Teil meiner Sammlung zu dokumentieren und habe dafür auf AmoRetro.de eine Website eingerichtet. Schaut einfach mal rein, wenn es euch interessiert, da wird in den nächsten Wochen viel passieren.

Hier auf Youtube werde ich nach und nach auch andere Systeme vorstellen. Ich hoffe es gefällt euch. An der Kameraführung werde ich noch arbeiten. Vielleicht bekomme ich auch das Laggen des Videos weg (zu sehen bei Epic Pinball) - denn das System selbst läuft butterweich.

Danke für's Reinschauen.


ENGLISH VERSION:

This is my beautiful mini-tower 486 system, equipped with a DX2 66MHz CPU, a single-chip Vesa Local Bus motherboard, 8x 4MB 30pin Simm-RAM, a Cirrus Logic GD5428 Vesa Local graphics card and a very nice Sound Blaster 16 sound card with a Terratec Wavetable module attached. Data is stored on a 800MB Quantum hard disk. It has a Quad Speed (4x) CD-ROM drive and a 3,5" floppy. I really enjoy playing games like TIE-Fighter, Epic Pinball, Silverball and Z with it, just to mention my current three favourite games.

I feel the video quality is a bit laggy, but i can tell you, the machine runs very smoothly.

Currently I am about to document every single bit of my big collection of vintage hardware. For that, I made a website, you can visit at it AmoRetro.de.

BTW: The PS/1 badge is from my first computer ever. It has nothing to do with this unit.

That's the first IBM PS/1 tower I've ever seen. Didn't even know they made those. Obviously it's not an IBM internally, though. What kind of board is it?

This was my first DOS/Windows PC. I think it was back in 1993 or 94' I really can't remember. I was an Commodore freak up to that point, but VGA, amongst other things, took the better of me. Still love the Commodore computers though.. Elegant little machines. :)
