At least, that's the copyright date on the Ultra 10's firmware. Solaris 9, Netscape 4.78 that came with it. Would've done this on byuu's server some time back, but I don't have a browser on this that supports TLS and byuu's server doesn't allow unencrypted connections. Had to disable style sheets. Then my keyboard died, so I had to swap it out to log in(PS/2 keyboard and an adapter box. Not a real Sun keyboard, don't worry.) So yeah, I know a couple people in here will enjoy this. I sure did, until I realized I only had a 22-character-wide input window on the new thread page. Shoulda used Lynx. ROLL CALL! Post with your oldest machine that can do it! (More to come later. This is SO not my oldest machine.) That said, this thing has sat idle long enough that the clock chip I replaced has drifted by almost ten days. And I don't remember how to set the time on this thing. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Time to hook up the 386SX-40 then, since winners don't cheat and I'm too lazy to fire up the emularity again. But then, it's just a 386SX (and one made in 1993, no less!), so I've already lost.

First try: IE3 on my 386SX-40 ...and it's a complete failure: I can't even logon because the page doesn't even render to anything remotely resembling a message board:  Next stage: DOS! Licensed Pirate® since 2006, 100% Buttcoin™-free, enemy of All Things JavaScript™ |

There's suspension of disbelief, and then there's insulting my fucking intelligence.

IE2 on Windows 7. Can log in fine, too. |

Posting this from Arachne 1.97 (GPL) on PURE DOS, as God and Bill intended! Still better than IE3... ---- Update because this board don't let me double-post until tomorrow!?---- Proof The board renders... rather interestingly. Oh, coming to this post was a immense pain in the 'nads, I tell ya! Originally I had installed Arachne 1.93 (which was the most recent version of the revived GPL source back when I last toyed with it, almost a decade ago), but for whatever reason this had a weird bug that rendered HTML forms unusable (I could fill them, but nothing would be POSTed to the server), so I was unable to logon. Turns out there was a release in 2013, after a long hiatus. A floppy disk and 30 minutes later, here we are. And looks like Arachne even manages to introduce a few line breaks on its own!

Very nice! Edit: So, fun story. I headed into the garage and looked for the Box O' Parts. Much of our old PC stuff went to a cousin, but I still have a few pieces. Some saved by my own hand for DOS gaming purposes, some simply missed because dad's accumulated clutter is poorly-sorted. Aside from the 486 stuff I'd intentionally fished out(and parts to make them a whole machine), I found... motherboards for a PC, XT, and AT. And a few 8-bit ISA SCSI cards, and a 16-bit Hard/Floppy disk controller. I have an AT case and power supply(currently hosting a K6-2)... but not a single ISA video card remains in the collection. The first IBM compatible machine we ever had running was a 486, so... I have no idea what the hell we're doing with a Primus-forsaken 5150 board. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |
